Changbeer4me Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 HI, I Did a search on TV and most are very old threads, mobile no longer connected and business long gone. So looking for any up to date information on location for good quality Sala. Been to the one on Pattaya -Rayong Highway timber not good quality and finish was not good. Asking price was 36,000 baht.

Guderian Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Bad timing, I just gave mine away. Had it for seven years and never used it. A nice place for the gardeners to eat their lunch, but I much prefer the patio myself, so I got rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Pokey, impractical, uncomfortable collectors of dust, garbage, cobwebs and birdshit. ...and the gardeners lunch leftovers. On the other hand, these ones are much more practical IMHO. And cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dwyer Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I’ve just built my own ( except for the welding and the roof tiles ).Just need to fit a ceiling fan, paint the cement on roof and fit some shade arrangement for the backside.A very self satisfying project if you feel up to it, you can design it to fit your needs.

I like it, great work. what was the cost if you don't mind me asking..? Regards Changbeer4meThanks.As for the cost, I did it steadily over a few months so don’t remember exactly and am not in LOS right now so don’t have access to the receipts,but:Concrete - 1.5 cube - 2600 baht Floor Tiles - 13 m3 @ 154 - 2000 baht Sand/cement, tile adhesive, grout etc - 800 baht Aluminium edging 8 x 2m - 1500 baht Roof tiles - 4000 bahtSteel probably around - 5000/6000 baht Sundries, conwood fascia, screws and steel for roof tiles, labour for welding and roof fitting, paint and primer. - 4000 baht All these figures are rough, so probably 20/25k.It was something I wanted to do myself, irrespective of the cost, and I was disappointed when my welding prowess was lacking and had to call someone in but it was needed. His experience of the steel structure needed to support the roof was invaluable also.Originally I was going to fit a brown corrugated steel sheet roof ( with silver insulation ) but later decided to go with the same roof tiles as the house and am pleased with the results.I have another 80 m3 of the same floor tiles to fit round the house but am going to pay someone !The sala was easy enough as I made it 7 x 7 tiles and half a tile round the outside but I’m not up to the job of the garage area and walkways around the house..... no way !!

I will bet she sits in it 2 or 3 times in the first week, a couple of times the following month, then never and it gets taken over by the wildlife and rubbish. They are more ornamental than practical but then again, so are plastic flamingos. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Changbeer4me That's about the right price. Mrs NL had 6 of those for 'private dining' at her restaurant a few years back. I rigged them with power, oscillating fans and mood lighting. They were a big hit with younger couples on dates. We also had a couple of the flat platform type (see post #3) for larger groups and family dining but they weren't so popular. The rest of the hoi poloi preferred dining at the bigger tables in the main building so I slung a hammock between the two 'flatbeds' in the afternoons while Mrs NL and her sister used to kip in them between lunch and dinner crowds. It was real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the cost Andrew. You were right to call in someone with a better skill set for the job. But for somethings yiu have to bite the bullet, nothing worst than outlaying money and end up with a ball up , shitty job. There is a certain satisfaction of doing projects yourself. Great results so far Andrew , good luck with the rest you'll have many years of enjoyment I'm sure. Regards Changbeer4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Outside HomePro on Sukhumvit. Bought a wooden table set from them, quality is ok. They have a couple of sizes, easy to park on the HomePro parking lot and walk to take a look. https://goo.gl/maps/oRiFhGdEwTM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
