Designing Trade Show Displays For Boardwalk Events

 When you live near an ocean, you likely spend a lot of time on the boardwalk . Your company may even have a shop or perhaps a stand on this popular stretch. If so, you understand how harsh the sea air can be on your materials. Although it feels pleasant, the air is humid and the sun relentless . Add in the salty sea breeze, and you've got a very difficult environment for typical trade show displays. Most portable displays are designed for indoor use only and can't handle normal outdoor exhibiting, let alone the hazards of a seafront life. If you know that your booth will see outdoor use, you need to prepare ahead of time. Why Weatherproofing Your Portable Displays Matters If you've never lived by the ocean, you might not understand the severe conditions that arise. It's easy to picture the boardwalk as an easy and calm place, and to most observers, that's what it is. Beneath that calm, however, there are many hazards facing trade show displays. The pote...

Polished Concrete - Cheap Chic

Many people would raise an eyebrow upon first hearing that concrete is a great option for elegant residential flooring and countertops. But it is fast becoming one of the most requested products for consumers who want a durable surface that offers longevity and low maintenance. Concrete can be colored to match any decor, with highly artistic inlays of stone, metal, or glass. The patterns available are endless, and can be created on a flat plane with the rest of the floor, or include options such as embossed crests, and other raised or carved designs. Grinding to expose aggregates creates a look of polished stone, another highly sought-after finish. When polished concrete was first introduced several decades ago, the term was used to describe the process where gray or colored concrete was covered with a wax product and then literally polished to a high gloss. Today, the end result can be attained by using a variety of products - chemical sealers, liquid polishes , or ...

The Ha'Penny Bridge

 The Ha'Penny Bridge is one of Dublin's most famous landmarks. It is a pedestrian crossing over the river Liffey between Swifts Row and Wellington Quay. The official name is 'Liffey Bridge' but is known to everybody in Ireland as the Ha'Penny Bridge in memory of its toll which was one halfpenny. It is the oldest pedestrian crossing in Dublin, and also the most famous. It dates back to 1816 and was originally called the Wellington Bridge in memory of the Duke of Wellington. Cast iron was used during construction, a material that is prone to bad decay with aging. In recent times extensive repairs were carried out by Harland and Wolff who were made famous for constructing the Titanic. These works aimed to protect the material and ensure the lifetime viability of the famous landmark. The crossing arcs over the Liffey and is crowned by three lamps. Spectacular views can be enjoyed during any time of the day, and if you are planning to visit Dublin, a cro...

Pedestrian Trail and Creek Bridges for Parks and Recreation

 Running trails, public parks, and even many campgrounds often have areas that just aren't easy to traverse . Getting across creeks, drainage ditches and low-lying wet areas can mean inconvenient pathways or worse-legal liabilities . A simple pre-engineered pedestrian creek bridge, otherwise known as a park bridge, will add beauty and functionality to your recreational area. Engineering for your bridge should be a major consideration, as local building inspectors, and ADA and OSHA requirements often dictate the design or construction of the bridge. While it's tempting to just build your own bridge with some heavy woods bought locally, it's usually best to let engineers and project advisors provide a proven product with a lifetime guarantee. In addition to bridges that will meet government codes, trail bridges use the highest quality pressure-treated pine, which comes with a lifetime guarantee against rot/decay fungus and insect damage. When planning t...
