Wood post

- What type of wood and stain color are the posts and trim??? Love it!!

Everyone wants to know how to get the wood posts and beam that light color. I assume the wood type is either cypress or cedar which are great for outdoor use. But I've never seen anyone get an outdoor wood to look like a white / grayish color like that. Very unique, very attractive. If you have the stain/brand or technique the painters used, that would be appreciated by many. Excellent work! I give the photo shot a 10! Love the layout and flow from house to the outdoor space, from outdoor space to pool.

We are adding an outdoor living area and we are going to stain our cedar a light color. Would you be able to share the stain color and brand? Thank you very much; it is beautiful.

Is a TV doable in an outdoor room when there are extremes in climate?

- I live in Northern Ohio. We have rain, snow and extreme heat and cold variances. Is an outdoor TV even possible?

tsdelity
We have a TV in our outdoor room and live in NC. We purchased a $300 one from Target and bought a TV cover from Amazon. Works like a charm and have had it out there for 4 years now. It is hanging on the brick wall and under our pergola. We do bring it in in the Winter as a precaution because we are afraid the screen may crack in the cold but other than that, nothing! We just love it and if it does die on us, it was only $300! Easy to replace

Is there MORTAR which can be used in extreme weather conditions?

- The outdoor patio stone is beautiful. I live in Quebec and my natural stone steps took a beating this winter! We have no alternative but to use de-icer on our stairway during icy weather, but then the mortar cracks and the pavers actually come off completely!! Is there a mortar that will stand up to such extreme weather?

- Paul IvyAfter months of searching, this is the addition for my outdoor kitchen that I want. Same Pool house with the high roof and wall. Although I know that you cannot come to Vancleave, MS to build this, I was hoping that I could contact you regarding how to obtain and purchase the plans and cost estimate. This is absolutely beautiful. I hope I can find someone on the Mississippi Gulf Coast to build this. Is there a link that you can send me to get into contact with the person responsible for this Masterpiece. Thank you.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Matt Clawson added this to What You Need to Know When Considering a Cabana or Covered PatioJun 12, 2015

Location. Once you have determined the intended function for your new structure, you need to determine its specific location. There are two main types of covered structures: those that are attached to the main house and those that are unattached. We typically refer to unattached structures as cabanas and those attached as covered patios.By any name, the two can serve the same basic function. The advantage to an attached covered patio is convenience and accessibility from the main living space. An attached covered patio can truly become an extension of the home, often accessed through sliding doors, or in some cases specialty pocket or folding doors.
