Hello,
I bought 30 flor tiles of their Heirloom style in Alabaster and 12 of the Solid Ground tiles in Sage last year. I paid 437.00 for them and barely used them when i basically moved in with my boyfriend. Now he's moved into my house and we have no room for them. The heirloom has subtle bumpy striations to it and is a light gray The sage is solid with an architectural edge. Can sell whole lot, or individually.No Pets, Non Smoking home.

Custom Screens
Hi,
We are currently finishing a custom ipe pergola on our terrace. We are looking for someone to make some custom screens made out of ipe trim and black screen that would fit into some small openings within our ipe wall. Our contractor quoted us approx $200.00 per screen which seems excessive to us. hey average about 1 x 3 feet Does anyone have experience with having screens made or know of a good wood worker who would do this kind of thing?

Does anyone know what the code requirements are for a pergola in Brooklyn? I am thinking of building one on my 18 x 25 ft terrace and was wondering if I need a permit...any advice would be very helpful!

Thanks for your comments. I live in a 5 story converted condo building. Its in an old firehouse in Prospect Heights. It says it is a Special condominium billing lot (R0) on Property Shark. I dont think I can attach to the building structure without getting into a permit issue, but like you said if I make it freestanding (anchored to the terrace of course) that may help. Any information you can offer is so helpful...thank you!!

Keep it "furniture" -- potentially movable. You could avoid the permit process that way.

That's interesting about it being movable. Good solution. I wanted a pergola too, over our outdoor dining table and I have been trying to figure it out. We own a house and have a fairly deep yard in which the pergola would be more than 10 feet from the house. So I could install a permanent one but I didn't want to go through a permit process. I wouldn't want the thing to blow into a neighbor's yard or house in a bad storm either. I'd think heavy cedar posts wouldn't move around or blow over, right?
I also might just install two lattice fences about 7 feet tall and 8 feet long on either side of the dining area. I can't imagine that needing a permit.

For the "movable" pergola I would suggest temporary footings. The big home improvement stores sell them. They look like concrete pyramids with the tops cut off. They're about a foot high and are usually used for building decks so they may have a recessed x pattern in the top of them. I can't imagine a couple hundred pounds of wood bolted to concrete blocks ever blowing over in anything less than a hurricane.

Is the length of each piece pretty similar, about 8'-10'?
Also, do you know what kind of walnut it is?
Thanks, I just registered so will log in as myself later

Just a few questions, I will log in as myself later, just registered
1) What kind of walnut is it?
2) Are all pieces pretty similar lengths, 8-10 feet?
3) Does it have grooves on the back for the glue?
Thanks
