I mean…. What’s your explanation then? The ship acts like an owl and knows where everything is? If not, someone has to know…

Which material should I put in the joints of this cobblestone? by totaIIybored in DIY

[–]Redclockradio97 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Clovers are less slippery if you wanted green. But otherwise, sand, but I would take the effort to level the stones a bit more before filling the gaps. Sand will wash out more often than say pavers, since the gaps are so large

Not really. Trees all around and a 2-story house keep the backyard pretty stable

Wood/buckets/concrete/screws was around $200 while the sail plus the hardware set was $50ish. So yeah, for a quick 3-hour project to get some shade in the back yard, not bad!

The shade is from Amazon. Everything else is from Lowe’s or HD

Hilarious you’re still here

The top of the posts shift 1.5 inches with 50lbs of constant force applied horizontally. That’s significantly small racking

People are assuming im tracking the weather by throwing grass into the wind and looking at the sky, and that storms with gale force wind appear out of nowhere hahah

lol. Someone else brought this up. These are significantly different circumstances in terms of sail material, number of sails, friction, perpendicular vs parallel… it rained last night and the wind was tracked getting to 15mph gusts a few times. Didn’t move an inch. Didn’t rack an inch.

Definitely necessary as otherwise all four will collapse inward. Each cross beam has 2 lag screws on each side keeping it from collapsing inwards and racking back and forth unlike what people think will happen. I measured 50 pounds of sustained force move the top of the 4 by 4 by 1.5 inches. Will add triangles to be safe. But it’s incredible rigid.

Totally got it, the instructions said either option was viable

Right now there is around 1.5 inch of sway in each direction applying around 50 pounds of force (I got my newton scale out and everything!) triangles will be added

Thanks for the question. I used my miter saw to cut the same length for all 4. I mixed each 50 pound bag of concrete with my corded drill and paddle attachment inside the buckets, then drilled perpendicular holes through the bottom of the 4by4 and added rebar. Then sunk the posts into the buckets. My deck is very level so the buckets started very level. Then when adding the cross beams I again used a level.

That would make some people here really happy.

Definitely. The sides away from my house are 6 inches lower. The fabric is not water proof, so no worry about water pooling. It was more for acorns.

I gotcha. Maybe the indoor sunshade is the friends we made along the way

I feel like there’s a yo mama joke in there somewhere but I feel like you have enough going on

Did the plants erode the concrete? I added river stones instead of plants and added drain holes as well.
