    I love the wood shutter look! 💖
    However, I'm not quite sure why these types of videos only show non-working shutters....
    I live in a coastal area and am prone to hurricanes and I believe it would only make sense to hang the shutters to actually work.
    By doing this, the home owner would be saving time, and would be prepared incase of a storm.
    Who wants to be rushing around fighting the crowd for plywood and trying to board up their windows, during a life threatening situation?
    *Just make the shutters to work from the beginning. 😃

    Just a thought. Maybe add washers as spacers between the shutter and the brick. It’ll keep a small space for water to move freely, air to move and the shutters will last longer. That’s what I did anyways, seemed like a good plan to me. Great work!

    • @StoneandSonsWorkshop
      @StoneandSonsWorkshop  6 лет назад +11

      This is a great tip. I added that to the website article. Feel free to comment on the article to give yourself credit. stoneandsons.net/diy-shutters/ The brick on my house is not flush, so I have gaps behind the shutters already, but I might go back and add washers just for more room to drain. Thanks again!

    Great! But I want mine to actually close to keep out heat and cold of Arizona desert.
    I’d like to have them split so I can open top or bottom. Would this mean reversing them so the horizontal wood pieces are outside and allow wood planking to close flat and tight to the window? Then the hardware would have to allow them to open out and lay flat against the exterior walls.
    In Europe shutters are on the outside for energy efficiency and in some English regency homes on the inside folding into the wall.

    Cabot Stain and Seal has high UV protection. Another great option is from a company called C2 Paint. Also cedar wood would be more expensive but more impervious to the elements. There is a way to burn cedar wood and then stain. It's a Japanese technique called shou sugi ban and has beautiful results. RUclips has many examples of the technique.

    What type of wood did you use? It doesn't seem to be treated lumber. Will it hold up to heat and weather elements if not treated? Also, did you seal stain with a product, like a deck sealer? I am very interested but was thinking to use cedar fence post because cheaper and lightweight. But they definitely won't look as nice as your wood grain. (I have never commented before, so how will I know when you respond?)

  • @saltwaterpurl
    @saltwaterpurl 4 года назад +2

    I think these look pretty, but I would be really disappointed I couldn’t close them when a hurricane rolled in. For 3% more effort the value would double if they were operable. Store shutters never fit your windows, and don’t have the hardware. Here though, we have custom cut to fit shutters, and real hardware, but they are still only decorative... IDK. This must be in an area that doesn’t get big storms I guess, and that wouldn’t be any use to them? 🤷🏻‍♀️ very petty though. Like window mascara.

    Functional shutters not only have an actual raison d’être but also are more aesthetically pleasing on a façade, given the gap and shadow casting.

      When I said that I posted online, I meant local sites.
      I've found that most people where I live would rather pay twice the price for half the quality as long as they can buy from a big box store or nationwide chain.
      They don't want to help support local businesses.
      For example...those 2x4 benches that Jay Bates made. The wood for those costs me $40.
      Throw in another $10 for pockethole screws, sandpaper and glue.
      The most I'll get from someone is $60 and most of the time they try to haggle me down to $50 or even $40.
      I've only managed to sell 4-5 in 2 years. I've stopped trying to make a buck from building.
      It's definitely not appreciated around here.
