I assume that this is some kind of greenhouse.

Seeing as that was what he wrote (and you quoted), you would be correct.

That certainly is eye-catching. Cedar? Pressure-treated?

Nice and big, huh? Booful!


BTW, that wiggly board sure looks funny through clear panels.

Wow, I can see the red glow of Lee's blush all the way up here in
Oregon.

Mighty fine job. Polycarbonate corrugated sheets? Did you use those
plastic closure strips, or sealing strips ... looks like the plastic?

Things have come a long way since I was a kid putting up "tin roofs" on
barns.

Form or function. Yes they do look funny. My same thoughts.....
But they keep the plastic running nice.

Poly Carbonate.
Nice stuff.
What was there and what the lady wanted......worked out well.
A good use of carport space.

Wow. Former partner is revisiting a Frank Lloyd Wright-style custom
home in a high-dollar neighborhood here locally. Four or five years ago we
had to replace numerous redwood sills and 4X4s which formed the frames for
the plate glass and of which the house had a lot (glass, that is) on the
upstairs corner master bedroom. So now, former partner is again replacing
rotted posts and some partial sills on the outside wall of a first story
bath.
Swing and Leon will appreciate this. At Clark's Lumber, a large outfit
here in Houston, a clear redwood 2X4X8 is $5.55/lf! $48 including sales
tax! 4X4X10 was $135! YEOW!

That they do, plus they keep the elements (and wasps) out.

Strictly my opinion, but about anything FLW had a hand in is in constant
need of shoring up. IMO, he was the forerunner of our currrent cultural
sin of "looks in lieu of substance".

Not surprised, as Clark's is pretty proud of their stuff. Still, I buy
there a lot as I end up with much less waste due to overall quality of
product. It ain't cheap, but that evens things out in the long run.

Detering has some surprisingly good stock at good prices, but you almost
have to have a builder's account there to even know about it, as you
can't just go in a warehouse and see it.

LOL... I priced 4x4 "Oak" at Clarks. I needed about 20' for my bed posts
on my bedroom project. The cost was in the neighborhood of $600~$700. I
build plywood posts and veneered with 3/16" thick oak.

Why not just glue up 1" or 2" stock to build it up.
Much less and if you do it right it looks great.
