The next big exterior project will be constructing the horizontal wood slat screen on the front porch. I’ve gone on and on and on about doing this project (and it’s probably the project I’m most excited to do) since I think it will make the biggest architectural statement in our whole Year Of The Exterior remodel.
Sketchup to the rescue yet again…trying to work out all the hardscape elements for the front yard.
I think we will use Redwood…? Maybe?
Other than that I’m not actually sure how to build this thing. I’ve been discussing the physical construction process of how to make it work with carpenter Craig, but he wants to use a bit of heavy duty hardware that I feel might distract from the clean modern aesthetic we are going for.
Any suggestions or secrets about how to achieve this horizontal screen before we screw up yet another DIY project?
