Outside Sun Shade
Live in Orlando so it’s 1 billion degrees outside always, needed shade for pregnant wife, not able to drill into house, so needed alternative 5 gallon buckets with 50lbs of concrete each. 4x4x10 posts, connected with 2x6s with two 1/4in lag screws at each connection point. Wooded rectangle is 16 by 12, sun shade is 13 by 10. Turnbuckles and hooks as hardware. Can’t see it great in pics, but the side away from the house is 6 inches lower than the side near the house. Shade is not water resistant (water passes through, just for shade), so no need for a more severe slope. All in around $250 Planning on staining wood and painting buckets. submitted by /u/Redclockradio97 [link] [comments]
