Redneck Patio
One of my crews surveyed a trailer home yesterday.
Does anyone else see the danger this "patio" poses?

The blue paint on the pallet clashes with the table cloth.

They are using Pallets for the floor one move of any chair and your falling over, but I suspect this is not an issue as they probably fall over on their own just fine.

When you sit there nude on a hot summer day, later you walk around with chair strap marks on your butt and back for an hour?

They set up too close to the scrub brush. Probably lots of palmetto bugs.

Warpage, severe warpage, possibly resulting in sudden upward catastrophic catapultation of pallet nails, which no carpet, oriental or occidental, is known to stop.

I bet there is a layer of corrugated cardboard under the carpet which prevents chair legs from going though - until you sit in the chair that is.
 You know, old rubber car floor mats would work too, sheet metal, acrylic carpet protectors for office chairs....

Those pallets are the property of "chep" pallets - I recognize them.
The cushion on the one chair does not match the others. It's an indoor plant - and will get sunburn on the table outside. There is no saucer under the plant - so if you water it - it will get the table cloth wet. Obviously the garden hose is a trip hazard, chair legs can go inbetween the pallets and fall over Floral chair does not match the others. Looks like the corner of one of the chairs on the left is already off the "patio"

There's also no protection against the afternoon rainshowers.
