Flexform outdoor furniture in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has the best outdoor season in the country and two specific problems with it: ultraviolet light, and getting a truck up a canyon road.
Sun is the wear
Rain is not what ages outdoor furniture here. Ultraviolet light is. It fades fabric, it dries oil out of wood, and it does it on the south and west faces first, which is where most Los Angeles terraces look.
Two things follow. Ask for a solution dyed outdoor fabric rather than a piece dyed one, because the colour goes through the fibre instead of sitting on it. And if the frame is iroko and you want it to stay brown, plan on oiling it once a year rather than never.
The road up
- Truck sizeA full trailer does not turn on a canyon road. Tell us the street and the quote uses a smaller vehicle from the start.
- StairsHillside houses often reach the terrace by an outside stair. Count the treads and tell us. It changes the crew size.
- Crane workOccasionally the only way in is over the roof. Rare, expensive, and better known about in advance than on the day.
- GatesWidth of the gate and the turn behind it. This is the measurement people forget.
Pacific time
Our desk is in New York and answers on Eastern time, so a request sent at the end of a Los Angeles working day is answered the following morning your time. That is the whole practical difference.
