| test fitting all the joints one last time before onsite assembly glue-up 4" redwood strips 1/4" thick weaved into frame |
  |
| Steam bending the weaved boards was necessary to prevent breaking |
 |
| Privacy panel was supported by (3) 2 1/2" galvanized steel pipes pile driven >30" below grade. there was no way to dig any post holes or pour cement without destroying the existing vegetation |
 |
| 6 months later |
 |
| 1 year after installation. Almost seams silly to have weaved anything now. |
 |
| New Deck is 99% done. I'm just mocking up the handrails before the final inspection from City of Oakland. |
 |
| before... |
 |
| extra wide stairs |
 |
| No screw holes or seams |
 |
| My 3D rendering made from home owners drawings |
 |
| another convenient side staircase |
 |
| City of Oakland code compliant 42" tall railings w/ all gaps <4" diameter |
 |
| old deck |
 |
| New side-stair landings poured |
 |
| Redwood Planter with venting slits |
 |
| 2x6 top 3x3 posts 2x3 top rail 2x4 bottom rail 4x4 feet 1x2.5 paneling |
 |
| SIKKENS matte clear coat is still drying... |
 |
| you can almost see the drip rail detail added around the bottom edge of the 2x6 |
 |
| I was going for a floating top look. I routed the same channel along the bottom edge to act as a drip rail |
 |
| I liked the corner detail left from recessing the 4x4 to fit the panels. Added some depth to an otherwise square post. Note the sweeping terminations. |
 |
| The tv is just there as an earthquake warning device. |
 |
| I used my shaper to cut the vent slots then biscuit joined the panels. |
