Question

Brainstorm i did The spacers for heptagon are interesting The rest meh

square-country-13088 · Answer

Spacers are good they ll add rigidity to an otherwise kinda floppy structure

square-country-13088 · Answer

Any thoughts on how to have this heptagon thing stand upright I m not super thrilled with having visible legs unless they re also arty in some way

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

I ll doodle on that it s a good question how to make them nice If they add width would be good too and gives ppl space to stash things inside the frame

square-country-13088 · Answer

well there s the lean to option where it s two heptagons that are leaning on each other in an inverted V <https something else fun slack com archives C0168ATFXBL p1595890898005500 thread ts=1595879729 005000 amp cid=C0168ATFXBL>

square-country-13088 · Answer

You can put some fun weird shit in the interheptagonal space

square-country-13088 · Answer

transheptagonal zone

square-country-13088 · Answer

The braces between them not pictured could be shelves And you can put weird shit on the shelves

square-country-13088 · Answer

Btw I m bringing my generator and chop saw for this I think the angled cuts we need to do will be much easier with that

square-country-13088 · Answer

With shelves I dunno I think I like it less than the two heptagons offset half a rotation but this is more practical to build

square-country-13088 · Answer

Although I m staring at it and it s growing on me

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

square-country-13088 · Answer

```ideally something we can continue to build off of Next chapter for that zone is to begin stairs or a step zone to improve safely getting down to the wata```

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

ideally you ll build a foundation for projects i haven t moved on in years counterproposal we build something that is nice and can be done in 1 day with no concrete

square-country-13088 · Answer

Yeah totes I m fine buying some 2 long lagbolts or something

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

lags into the ground there won t do much but building a stable structure and letting it sit should work ok

square-country-13088 · Answer

I dunno depends on the ground I think have you tried out there

square-country-13088 · Answer

I think the example of Renee s string thing s lag bolt is a poor one because it s attached to something that moves and vibrates constantly and that just digs the bolt out

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

Yeah the 12 lags I ve used went in during summer and were completely loose by spring As I understand it gets really deeply muddy with their 50 inches of rain or whatever

square-country-13088 · Answer

hm

square-country-13088 · Answer

What if we put this thing on 4 bridge piers 1 under each bottom corner of each heptagon They re the right size

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

For example The Lake sign tripod thing It had 1 then I added another 2 I think and they were all loose There s also a sign on the far side of the lake I tried where observatory trail splits off Haven t checked it out

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

Yeah piers are good Also the u posts work well You really need the right tool to get them in but Mack should have 2 now Gave her our old one Then you re attaching to fence posts which is not very pro but it ll work

square-country-13088 · Answer

yeah u posts are ugggly

square-country-13088 · Answer

let s do bridge piers I think digging holes for them is actually less work than pounding in U posts And they can be hidden

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

square-country-13088 · Answer

Need to dig deep hole Need gravel Need to mix it Need to fuck with adding water to right mixture whatever that is

square-country-13088 · Answer

I can see the pros for it and I think it would be nice if it was a completely solid structure that you could push around and it wouldn t fall down but it s also soooo much work

cool-pizza-44770 · Answer

climbable would be soo cool but really it s hot over there and no one likes to hang out on that hill If we used concrete it d be great to install 2 vertical posts that you can tie shade cloth to Then that spot would almost be useful But still No lake access Not really useful

clean-army-21719 · Answer

shrug that is my favorite spot for lake access But ok no concrete BTW < cool pizza 44770> s shadepole idea is one I would love to see at this site in the future

square-country-13088 · Answer
