My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How is bench supported?

    The bench is supported by custom steel brackets that are anchored to the concrete retaining wall. I've attached a detail for your reference. The design intent was to emphasize a floating plane of wood, rather than bringing attention to the connection.

      This is a BEAUTIFUL beach! Would you be able to share details about the Brackets that were used, where did you get them from, the kind of wood that was used and the stain on it?
