Conor Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 We will need a couple brise soleils at the southern aspect. I've got quotes for the 5.5m, 1.8m projection one coming in at £4-£5k for aluminium, a bit more than I was expecting. Anybody made a shading solution from timber? I quite like this one, made from Larch. Seems very simple construction and well within my skills. When weathered, would go quite well with our window frames and stone detailing. It would sit above deck with the same projection, and I'd run corner posts all the way up from the deck ballustrade to support the canopy. Looking for advice on design ideas and specifically if maintenance is an issue with larch etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfrdave Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 What about composite rather than timber. I was in Ridgeway getting gabions and noticed they do composite decking and pergola type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hadn't considered that. I need to go to Ridgeway soon anyway so will check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
