What kind of awning/shade structure is this?

Question by claker: What kind of awning/shade structure is this?

http://www.ecoonrapids.com/lowes.coonrapids.htm

The link points to a picture of a Lowe’s Home Improvement store. I like the cable supported awning/shade structure in front.

I want to put an awning similiar to this on the back of my house. I like it because it has no support posts below, and is only hung from above. I do not want one of those cheezy SunSetter retractable cloth things.

Just want more info on them, construction techniques, harware, materials, weight loads, etc…

Looking for the last 3 hours for info on the web, etc… HELP!

Answer by Brad
I’d go to Lowe’s and study the construction!

Alternatively, it would seem you might build a cover on a platform below, either at the right height, or plan to rais it into place. Once where you want it, cable or chain the outer part to hang from the side of the structure, and then lag bolt the edge to the house…then remove the temporary support you have under it….

how do you build a patio floor with wood?

Question by bestbuildlowcost: how do you build a patio floor with wood?
I have a 14 foot round hole in the yard where the trampoline was and I’d like to build a patio/firepit area. I know I can do it with pavers, but would like to use wood instead. It will be used to gather around a steel firepit in lawn chairs.

LDS Home Storage Center (aka The Dry Pack)

Here’s a little, home-made video of one of the LDS Home Storage Centers, made back in early 2007. With recent events making food and fuel more expensive, the counsel to acquire your food storage is quite timely and may prove life-saving. I hope you will follow the inspired counsel to lay up in store now. It will bring great peace of mind, knowing that you can provide food for your family should the need arise. President Ezra Taft Benson: “The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah.” President James E. Faust: “Every father and mother are the family’s storekeepers. They should store whatever their own family would like to have in the case of an emergency . . . [and] God will sustain us through our trials.” President Thomas S. Monson: “Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year’s supply of food . . . and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year’s supply of debt and are food-free.” President Thomas S. Monson: “In the early church, Paul wrote to Timothy, ‘If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.’ (1 Tim. 5:8.) It is our sacred duty to care for our families, including our extended families.” President Gordon B. Hinckley: “The best place to have some food set aside

Deck furniture – do the pillows have to be brought inside when it rains?

Question by Lepke: Deck furniture – do the pillows have to be brought inside when it rains?
We are thinking of getting new deck furniture, and I love the comfort of the ones where the chairs have thick padded pillows for the seats and the back. Do the pillows have to be brought inside when it rains? I am concerned about mold developing in them if I leave them outside. What’s your experience with them?

Answer by latrailera2000

My Ball phython doesnt shed in large peices but sheds of each and every scale individually, bad or good?

Question by bri_bri124: My Ball phython doesnt shed in large peices but sheds of each and every scale individually, bad or good?

Best answer:

Answer by tvossler
I own 2 ball pythons. What I have found when they shed in the manner you describe is the ball python isn’t moist enough. They need high humidity, so spray its cage down fairly often with water. Even my hard to shed python sheds well when doing this.

How To Choose Outdoor Restaurant Patio Tables?

Having a patio area if you have your own restaurant is a good idea because it attracts many customers and it entertains many clients who love to stay outside during summer season.

This is a good idea if you will organize a social gathering for your family and friends. Patios are just a part of your restaurant where customers could enjoy the warm summer days and the cool summer nights outside.

This is being done together with your amenities that are offered by your restaurant. Patios needed to have some special furniture that would complete the sceneries and beautify the surroundings of it. That special furniture is called the outdoor patio tables.

Depending on the designs and the decorations of your bar or restaurant, you might want to renovate or improve your place with the use of the outdoor patio tables.

If it happened that your restaurant is decorated with the traditional hard wood designs, you might want to purchase sturdy cast iron or the wooden outdoor tables equipped with the finest and nice tabletops.

The cast iron and the wooden outdoor table is said to be durable and resistant to water and ultraviolet rays from the sun.

This means that you will not have to worry about the durability of your patio tables.

Another option for buying your outdoor tables is that you can always go for the ones that are made with cast aluminum equipped with grooved bottom.

The aluminum is a material that is tough and durable because of the fact that it is resistant to ultraviolet rays of the sun and water.

The grooved bottom makes it balanced, as it will not be wobbly if customers use it and heavy loads are put on it. Stainless steel is also another tough material that could be bought.

Many different kinds of materials could be used for the outdoor patio tables to become tough and durable. Formica, melamine, resin, granite, wood and vinyl are just some of the world’s most famous materials that are said to be capable of handling hazards outdoors.

The melamine is said to be the preferred option when it comes to outdoor settings because of its toughness and unbelievable durability. The melamine is stain and scratch resistant making it easy to be cleaned with soap and water.

The outdoor tables are the best among the rest. This piece of furniture is the preferred furniture by collectors. The outdoor patio tables could be used in so many countless ways.

Visit my website called patio table cover where you can find information, suppliers, and purchasing guides about outdoor patio table and many other varieties of patio tables and accessories.
