What are these metal posts called and where can I buy them - I am looking for metal posts that will rust. Where can I get them and what do I ask for? Thanks! »
soflmomof2 What is the material on roof? Live in South Florida- lots of rain in summer. Will it rust? Like to hang ceiling fan as in this photo. I love this look. I am going to look for a side view- ours will be seen more from the side as we step out of the door to look to the left and see it vs. this view. Thank you.
bigdish69 yeah thats true. only if i had welding machine lol. it would be awesome if it was all bolted. then i wouldnt have any problem in doing it. maybe i can do something similar to this, i have a lil steel working ability from working on carriers
Eggleston Farkas Architects If you really are considering doing it yourself, there are engineering issues involved. The beams and connections need to be designed to deal with the weight being carried, as well as any shear forces (wind & earthquake - depending on where you live). The roof panels are also subject to uplift from the wind. You'd be surprised by how much harm these things can do.
corrugated metal exterior - Does it serve a specific function or is it just aesthetic? How would that application work in a colder climate? Overall just a beautiful use of space!! »
Dark living oom - My living room lets in little natural light and I need lots of light. How can I decorate to give the illusion of lots of natural light? »
The canopy shades not only the patio but also the large glass walls next to it. The primarily solid wrapper of corrugated metal gives way to a glazed expanse that is quite modern. Beyond the open living/dining/kitchen area is visible, as you'll see next.
3. Design for uplift. Hurricane-force winds can pull buildings apart. Roof structures are particularly prone to being sent flying, a danger to everyone and everything around. So using the correct, and in many places code-mandated, construction fastening system is a must. From tie-downs to lateral anchors, from hold-downs to embedded connectors, the choice of fastener will vary by location and type of construction.

The shade it provides and the fan is a great idea, I don't like being able to see through the kitchen unless its really rural area where no one else lives; I enjoy cooking in very minimal clothing.....lol
