YOUR ARBOR, TAKE A LOOK AT THE
CONDITION OF YOUR PATIO. LOOKS
LIKE THIS PATIO HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO
MANY YEARS OF WEATHER AND
WEAR… IT’S IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT
NEEDS A LITTLE HELP… TO EXTEND
THE LIFE OF ANY PATIO, YOU’LL WANT

FROM 1000 TO 2000 POUNDS PER

VO 6 - NOW, EVEN AFTER CLEANING,
YOU MAY FIND SOME AREAS DIDN’T
GET COMPLETELY CLEAN… FOR THOSE
SUBBORN OIL STAINS, A TRI-SODIUM
PHOSPHATE SOLUTION WORKS WELL.
BUT, FOR A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY METHOD,
SCRUBBING WITH FRESH KITTY LITER
WORKS EQUALLY AS WELL, IT JUST
TAKES A LITTLE MORE “ELBOW

VO 29 – WE’VE DECIDED TO INSTALL
THE RAFTERS ANOTHER WAY.. BY
“TOEING-IN” OR “TOE-SCREWING”…
TO DO THIS, NAIL IN OR DRIVE A
SCREW AT AN ANGLE ON EITHER
SIDE OF THE RAFTER IN TO THE TIE
BEAM. THIS WORKS GREAT, BUT
CAN BE A BIT UNSTABLE. HOWEVER,
USING CROSS BEAMS, 2 X 2 STRIPS
RUNNING ACROSS THE TIE BEAMS,
CREATES EXTRA STABILITY AND
ADDED SHADE.
