After the fence contractor gave some insane number I decided to move my April green wood to some self made treated/joist work, and save a ton. Now I have the Patio privacy I want as well as forced collection of wood early in the season.
Ill just say this.... It is as easy as it gets.... for about 150 bucks (plus my splits) i was able to cover what the contractor wanted 1600 to do...so there you go. And, the wife thought i was crazy till she saw final product, now I have her confidence (for now) lol.
Hey, it's a work of art that expresses something about its creator!
(The fence will disappear during the winter, but then he can "restock" it in the spring with new wood just in time to enjoy privacy on the patio, again.)
That's my dream fence Red ! I half jokingly expressed something like that to my wife in the past. I just showed her your work of art and she loved it ! I'm in !!
Showed the wife, she loves it, wants one around the hot tub area now. She also said if you put a fire pit in the middle of the patio it could help dry the stacks out. Very nice work.
I thought I'd clear up an apparent misunderstanding, I cannot burn the structure after the season (it's pressure treated). I will give it a annual check-up and re-use it.
Also, my the wood there does season very fast, the air flow on the patio has always been noticable.
Precisely how well it seasons and how fast?
I cannot give precise numbers cause I'm too cheap to buy a moisture meter.
