Not being one to build stuff very often, I’m quite happy with this awning thing I built over my patio. It’s 20 feet wide/10 feet deep. We just put a couple of 10 foot square “California Shades” (is what Amazon calls ‘em) on today …
Really good, they sound great live and they had to have played like 80% of their catalog. I’m not the most involved fan, but I recognized songs off Out of the Storm, Ivy Tripp and Cerulean Salt.
I found it funny I couldn’t understand like 90% of what Katie Crutchfield was saying when she wasn’t singing or thanking the crowd (or asking for whiskey). She spoke quietly and quickly.
Looks like a nice oasis there… We have three of those triangle sun shades thing over our back patio area. They are great… We had a wind storm that tore one corner of one, and last year I was lazy and left them up during the winter. Well, a freak snowstorm loaded one up and it actually pulled the 6 x 4 x 10 pole out of the ground…LOL…
Screw the triangle sun shades. The first time my wife told me she found some nice 10 foot “sails” I thought “coool … 10 foot squares!” NOT! 10 foot triangles are useless.
Thank you Amazon for having 10 foot square “sails”!
Ya gotta take your sails down for the winter Beach.
I need to put up some sun shades at the brewery next week, and the triangles seem to popular atm. After @Linebacker’s comments, I’m wondering if it’s a case of aesthetics vs functionality.
They look pretty cool if you layer and angle them in my opinion. The feng shui purists might rather have squares that all align…but I do like the overlapping triangles… (example below - not my house!)
Very comfortable … Beverly Hills Chihuahua there seems to like it. I’m not really one to chill out and do nothing for any length of time but that’s what my wife and I did for about an hour today. Beautiful temperature and breeze up here these days …
