Ahhh… Shade! – Eagle Slough Observation Deck

Today we worked on completing the shade structure at the end of the observation deck. We ended up going with lattice rather than a solid roof for reasons of airflow but really ended up liking the looks of the lattice much better than we had originally planned. Besides feeling more open and airy, the sun coming through the lattice casts interesting shadows, adding a lot of visual interest to an otherwise flat, open deck.

About 5 more boards and we are 100% done! At that point I am going to trade in my hammer and screwgun for a folding chair and a good nap in the cool breeze and finally enjoy some of our group’s handiwork!

Oh, by the way… did I mention we also have a boardwalk, trellis, garden and kiosk to finish as well? If you have free time and are looking for something to do, give me a call!
