so many love love love the fence. possible to share how to create? - also, thoughts on its durability in midwest/long snowy winter climate?
many thanks!!!! »
Volz & Associates, Inc. This project also had a historic landscape architect - Catherine O'Connor with Co'Design - who rehabilitated and restored the site. I forwarded this question and her reply was "It's stripped Ash Juniper (or as we colloquially call Cedar) pickets, posts and rails set on concrete footing with steel angle attachments."
She added she didn't know how it would fare in the mid-west as she had not designed in that area, nor was she sure if Ash Juniper even grows there. And IMHO we can only hope they don't! They're not lovely trees, and cedar fever is a misery.
I am utterly charmed by pool house. Is it new? Could you tell us dimensions of footprint including portico? - Was there historic precedent for small Greek Revival board & batt buildings in this region? Its really lovely. »
like the size but not the style, roof not pitched enough, and really like Crisps door and window and fireplace arrangement I think room in Crisps is nothing much
