Tip of the Week

21/5/2012

0 Comments

 
Landscaping:  If you are renewing old beds or making new ones, to help control weeds use a landscpe fabric.  Like everything else, the fabric will break down over time.   A 20 year fabric will control weeds for a long time as long as it is installed correctly.  If you plan on using an organic mulch, keep in mind that this too will break down and give weeds something to root in.  Also, some mulches have been known to harbor things like thistles and other spikey weeds.  Just be prepared to weed even after all the work, but the process should be much easier.  The only maintenance free garden is a dead one, now get out there and enjoy the weather!

Antique Iron Fence

17/5/2011

0 Comments

 
The iron fence is up and on the ReStore.  According to the oldest person in the neighborhood, this fence has been standing for over 100 years.  The iron is still solid and sound and would be a great garden or yard décor item.  Plenty of life left in it, If taken care of, this will last another 100 years.  Stop by and check it out, the total length of the three sections is 12 feet.

Composite Decking

16/5/2011

I had the opportunity to go out and look at a deck that was damaged by fire today, for the purposes of fixing it.  This deck was constructed of a treated wood frame and a composite shell.  What is "composite" anyway?  It is a combination of recycled wood, dust or fibers, and a plastic or some kind, like PVC.  When I thought of "composite", I knew it was a recycled product and normally maintenance free, that's part of the draw.  I thought that this product was somewhat superior to wood, it ought to be for the price.  After looking at the deck today, I'm not so sure.  The fire started on an outside corner and spread to the entire underside of the deck, driven by wind.  All of the joists were burnt and the flooring charred.  Though the top of the decking wasn't affected, I'm not sure of the structural integrity of it after being burned on the bottom and subjected to intense heat.  This got me wondering what the fire rating of composite decking was.  After some research most of the decking available locally has a fire rating of "C".  That is the same as wood, but unlike wood this has a plastic in it.  A plastic fire seems to be a little harder to put out and not to mention the smoke and toxic fumes released when burned.  The house the deck is attached to definitely has smoke damage from the burning composite.  My hope is that others would not falsely assume that because this product is a "composite" that it is somehow more fire resistant than regular wood.  The ease of use and low maintenance make this a good product, but the same care should be taken as with traditional materials and the cost of replacement taken into consideration.
