Comments (3)Thank you so much for the advice. Not sure about black as a colour choice but love navy blue. That would recede but then maybe the greens contrast not so effective? Or dark grey? My roof will be slate grey. Are these free standing mesh panels widely available? The only mesh with which I am familiar as mentioned has to be fixed to the wall or fence. I had thought that the support would need to be freestanding but as my area is also very windy (Lots of Norwesters) I will need to choose carefully from what is available so they are in themslves protected. I have planted jasmine before in Europe but not been successful with an abundance of flowers either in France or Uk, which Is why I didn't list it. However, I am willing to give it another go as the foliage and habit are lovely. Am now going to look up the hedging you mentioned. Was thinking of getting the garden landscaped by someone local to my area but I am sure, like you, they will wonder at the 1.8m restriction! Sadly my subdivision permits only oak trees ( which they removed when subdividing) to be planted which we know grow over 1.8metres. What they hoped to achieve by creating that constraint is beyond me but I am not going to go against it as someone down my road was 'made' to remove their newly planted magnolia trees as they were already over 1.8 when planted. Further I won't live long enough to see an oak tree grow to its prime! TIA of further comment. Kidssiam...See MorePre-Fabricated Homes More Convenient than Ever
Comments (0)Over the past few years, prefab homes have become more accepted as an alternative to building new, and for good reason. They are extremely convienent, eco-friendly, and are able to integrate contemporary architectural advancements, not to mention they provide instant equity. These are just a few of the reasons why builders today are calling prefab homes the houses of the future, and there are plenty more. You can expect to see a rise in the popularity of designer pre-fabricated homes. However, they’re more than just convenient—the benefits are extensive. For instance, they're constructed within a warehouse. This reduces exposure to inclement weather during the build, which equals less stress and wear on the home’s frame. This also means building schedules are never affected by the weather. This level of control over the project is typical. The build is much easier to predict when building in a controlled environment, so the chances of running into extra costs are significantly reduced. This also makes prefabs more customisable than many expect. Elements can be swapped out easily, from the roofing, to the modular floorplan, and even window locations. The addition of carports and garages can also be accomplished relatively easily if needed. Quoted prices for these homes include everything from carpets to heat pumps, and many prefab homes come with comprehensive guarantees on quality and warmth. Prefab homes can be delivered directly to your plot of land, which means you avoid all the disruption of having trades and resources on your property during construction. Even so, you can still check in on build progress whenever you like, just as if it was a standard construction project. In short, you can expect all the craft and control you’d see from any build but building indoors keeps you from running into any nasty surprises that can inflate the cost.
