Since the number of requests, finally craftsmen using only the new wood-aired diangin just 1-3 months. And for good natural drying, the craftsmen had time to dry wood in a matter of years.
With water levels still high, of course, possible to crack, split, and curled into a big right? Besides the material quality is often determined by the age cut. The younger the age, of course, more and more young fibers (pig) is contained in the material. Pig parts often become easy for the insects attack powder and termites.

If more and more white than brown colors dominate, then the age would not furniturpun long and often you find that some parts of the curved or cracked.

If you want quality, look for the price of furniture at a fair price by comparing between stores.

You can do this by considering some of the wood in passing. Once trained, you can immediately measure the quality of furniture on offer.
Pig is part of the wood cells that are young. This is marked by white color on the wood, like the wooden edges marked in the illustration above. When the pig is too much, your wood furniture vulnerable to attack by termites and the weather.

Selecting Materials Fence Houses
Eksterior June 9th, 2010
Current fence is not just simply as a limiting element of the home territory. Furthermore, these elements are transformed into expressions of expression homeowner lifestyles, often not even used to denote prestige or social position in society. Therefore, we now often hear the term gated community or a gated community. Of course, meant the rich people who live in the real estate environment with 24 hour security guard and was protected by a fence of course, high and intimidating people outside the community to enter into it.
Apart from the development of the fence function, of course we agree that we still need the fence, whether it is a massive fence or a fence is merely an imaginary (by arrangement landscape). Well, for that let us discuss about the appropriate materials for your home fence.
In general, the fence can be made from some of the following materials, namely metal, wood, concrete, brick, natural stone, bamboo, and plants. Each course materials have advantages and disadvantages, so stay adjust your needs to select appropriate materials.
If you want a solid fence and house? Resilient?, You can choose the materials made from metal or concrete. Both materials are fairly easy to be formed or printed to your liking, of course with the help of an expert in the manufacture or design. If your wallet is thin and still want to wear an iron material, you can use BRC iron fence with columns composed of concrete or natural stone. To prolong the life of wear, you should paint coating with iron because the material easy to rust.
Fencing material to your current home is a reflection of your personal. Therefore, make sure select materials that match the design style and your budget.
For concrete fences, you should use reinforced concrete to be more durable, especially for those who reside in the earthquake area. To soften the impression of cold and stiff, you can expose a rough acian as accents or natural stone placed on certain areas. You can also paint your concrete fence to provide a contrast effect or even soften and align the display with a fenced house. In addition, the trick to soften the concrete fences is to add a pot on a long field fence. Plants that are planted in pots will beautify and give life to your fence.
In addition to the above two materials, for you lovers of wood fence can design using this material. However you must remember the characteristics of wood, which is easily rotten, dull and burned, although you have to minimize them with clear coat on the coating surface. Some architects like effects on the dull and rotten wood, because the more natural impression material, but whether you think so? If not, you should consider the use of these materials because in addition to getting quality wood that does not cost a bit, you still have to perform regular maintenance is quite often.
Like wood, bamboo is a natural element that now often ogled by the architect. However, you must remember that the bamboo on the market usually does not last long because it is often cut is not on the season snapped. Bamboo material is easy to eat termites and powder because it has a starch content that is high enough. If you buy the bamboo that have been preserved, usually the price is quite expensive and relatively difficult for the natural preservation is by soaking it in mud on the stream of water flowing to lower levels of starch and clog pores.
However, you can try to preserve a shorter way, namely by injecting diesel fuel in each ruasnya and slathering on the base too. Well, if you choose this method, make sure you choose a skilled carpenter and diligently to ensure that this process be done perfectly. You should also select materials of bamboo with a diameter large enough so easily in the process. If your bamboo small diameter, the preservation work would require extra diligence high. Well, if this step is not possible to do, you only have a choice in how natural drying (diangin-aired) and using cut bamboo in season. However, the durability would not long so you need to do maintenance often enough.
Brick fence and natural stone you can use if they are not compatible with the materials previously reviewed yag. Actually use complementary in the sense that you can put natural stone on a brick fence partner to provide accents. In addition, you can use these elements separately, which uses only natural stone spouse or partner only uses natural stone.
For brick fences, will last longer if you install rolag brick (brick position was established) at the foot of the fence to increase the strength of the fence, especially in the earthquake area. For natural stone fence, if you use a broken andesite rock, stone or flint Karangasem (red), then you should put a fence with a sufficient thickness (> 30cm) for maximum strength. Better yet, if the stones are fitted with bottom pagian thicker than the body and head (at an angle + 15 degrees), especially if your fence is high enough (above 1.5 m).
If you respect the privacy of the environment other residents, you can use hedges or landscapes. You can combine with a low fence (max. 1 m only) or with low plant on your territory borders.
Well, now you already know the advantages and disadvantages of each material. You choose to stay fit with the environment, lifestyle … and of course with your wallet.
