E hoʻomākaukau i ka hoʻolālā e hoʻoulu hou ai i kāu patio a hopena paha i ka manawa e hoʻonā ai i nā mahinaʻoi loa loa o ke kauwela? E noʻonoʻo i ka hopena ma kaʻaoʻao o ka home a me ke kaiapuni. Ma hope o nā mea a pau,ʻo ka piko o ka patio keʻoliʻoli i keʻano me ka haʻaleleʻana i nā mea hoʻomaha o ka home.
Nā Pono Palemea Patio
ʻO ka manawa hou ka ua, e nānā i kou pā. Loaʻaʻo ia i hanaʻia i ke kaʻa, kahi e liʻiliʻi ai ka wai liʻiliʻi loa.
No laila ua holoiʻia ka ua i loko o kou pā hale, e halihali ana me ka momona waiwai a waiho i ka pā a kou hoalauna. Ma mua o ka noʻonoʻo, e noʻonoʻoʻoe i kekahi o kēia mau hilinaʻi ma mua.
Ināʻaʻole hiki iāʻoe ke ola me ka nānāʻole o keʻano o ke kaʻa, e ho'āʻo i ka paka ma mua ma mua o kaʻano kahiko. Hiki i kēia'ōpana paila ke hiki i nā galani wai he elima a holo i hoʻokahi kapuaʻi kahā ma kēlā me kēia minuke. Ma mua o ka hoʻokomoʻana i kahi'āpana paʻa, e koho i nā mea paʻiʻia. Hiki ke paʻiʻia nā paʻi paona ma nāʻano a me nāʻano likeʻole, a hiki ke hoʻopiha i nā lapu me ka uhi honua, ka'iliuli a me ka mauʻu, e hilinaʻi ana i kāu mau makemake maikaʻi.
ʻO kekahi huaʻoluʻoluʻo Grasspave nā Invisible Structures. Hoʻomaopopoʻiaʻo kahi'ōmole o nā polima polymer, ua'ōwiliʻia kēia mea paʻi ma kou pā hale e like me ke kapi. Ke mālama nei ia i nā aʻa o ka mauu ke pale aku nei i ka lele a ua paʻa loa ka hikiʻana i ka pana.
ʻO ka Sustainable Wood Decking
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā hale e kūkuluʻia me ka lāʻau,ʻo ia ka mea e pono ai ke kaumahaʻia nā lāʻau halaʻole no koʻoukou leʻaleʻa.
Ma luna o kēlā, he hana maoli ka hana e wāwahi i ka lāʻau maoli, no laila, e hiki ke mālamaʻia kou papa i kahi kaua nui. Eia naʻe, inā ponoʻoe e kūkulu i kēlā papa lāʻau, e hoʻomanaʻo i keʻano o nāʻano o ka lumana iʻoi aku ke kūpaʻa ma mua o ka mea'ē aʻe.
ʻO nāʻano lumber "'ōmaʻomaʻo"ʻelua e hana hou mākou maʻaneʻi me ka neuseam e kiʻi houʻia i nā kumu lāʻau (mai nā hale kūkulu hale) a me ka Council Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) i'āponoʻia, i hōʻiliʻiliʻia ma o nāʻoihana ulu lāʻau.
Akā,ʻo kēia mau papa lāʻau e mālama i ka mālamaʻana i ka makahiki i keʻano o ka pena a me ka pale.
ʻO kahi koho lōʻihi lōʻihi e hoʻopiliʻia i nā mea e pono ai , ma keʻano o nā papa i hanaʻia mai nā mea i hanaʻia i loko o nā plastic plastics and wastewood fiber. ʻO kēia mea he'ōmaʻomaʻo'ōmaʻomaʻo'ōmaʻomaʻo, akā he paʻakikī ke kūʻai aku, no ka mea, aia nā mea biodegrade i hui pūʻia me nā mea'ē aʻe e like me ka fiberglass a me nā meaʻala, e makemake ana i ka papa hana hou. Hanaʻia ka lama lumanaʻi mai ka 100% plastic plastic i keʻano o PED, HDPE, a LDPE paha, a hiki i ka nui o nā kala "non-fading" a me nā lepehu, me nā mea i hanaʻia e like me ka lāʻau maoli.
ʻO kahi hōʻike e pili ana i ka hoʻopiʻiʻiaʻana
Hoʻoikaika ka hoʻohanaʻana i nā papa hana i mea kū'ē i nā'ōpoki a me nā hua'ōlelo, akāʻo nā mea hoʻohana i hoʻohanaʻia he mau meaʻino. I ka wā i hala, ua hoʻomauʻia nā kuʻuna maʻamau o ka pentachlorophenal, ka'āpana keleawe keleawe (CCA) a me ke kumu. ʻO nā "mea palekana" nā mea likeʻole, he keleawe ia (AC) a me amine copper quat (ACQ), akā,ʻaʻole hiki ke puhiʻia a hana houʻia ka lāʻau i mālamaʻia me kēia mau mea kino. ʻO Borate kahi maikaʻiʻoi o ka lāʻau, a ināʻaʻole hiki ke komo i ke kūkā me ka lepo no ka mea he wai maʻalahi ka wai,ʻaʻohe meaʻeha kēia mea.
ʻO ka Green Patio Lighting
ʻO nā kukui kukui kiʻekiʻe i kukuna i ka nui o ka ikaika aʻaʻole pono e hana i ka hana.
Ma kahi kūpono, koho i ka ike no ka mālamaʻana i nā mīkini uila me nā lālā a me nā LED i hanaʻia. Aia nā kukui'ōlaʻi ma nāʻanoʻano likeʻole, e like me nā kukui, nā'ōpū, nā puʻupuʻu a me nāʻano'ōpala. He mea maʻalahi ke hoʻokomo iāʻoe no ka meaʻaʻoleʻoe e lawelawe i nā leka uila, akāʻo ka wahi kahi i nā mea a pau:ʻaʻole e hana nā kukui lā i ka malu!
ʻO nā kukui o LED, e hana pū ana me nā huila lā a me nā leka uila, hiki ke lawe i keʻano o nā kukui uila, nā pendants, nā kukui, nā puʻupuʻu, a me nā maka. Hoʻohana lākou i ka ikaikaʻuʻuku, akāʻo kekahi e hoʻopiʻi nei i nā lālā kū i ke ahi keʻokeʻo maikaʻi. E ho'āʻo e hoʻohana i nā lelo uila e kōkua ai e hoʻoulu a hoʻohuli i nā LED. ʻO kahi leʻaleʻa, maʻalahi e hoʻonoho i kahi koho he kukui kukui LED. E hoʻopili iā lākou a puni kāu hoʻopalapula a iʻole i kahi lāʻau liʻiliʻi no ka hopena o ke aloha.
Nā Hale Kūloko
Inā ua heleʻoe i ka pilikia o ka'ōmaʻomaʻoʻana i kāu pāpale paʻi, paʻiʻana, a me nā kukui, e lilo ia i mea hoʻonele e popo i lalo i kekahi mea waiwai papa.
E mālama i ka'ōmaʻomaʻo me ke kālaiʻoleʻana i ka lole. No ka poʻe i hoʻonohonoho i ko lākou naʻau i nā mea lāʻau patio lāʻau, e hoʻolako i nā mea hoʻohana me kekahi ola'ē aʻe (a mālama i kekahi kālā!) Aiʻole e kūʻai i mea hou e halihali ana i ka hōʻike FSC. ʻO ka lāʻauʻoka kahi koho nuiʻia no nā mea o waho no ka mea he ikaika a he maikaʻi ka wā, akāʻo kēia lāʻau ulu lāʻau he nui nā makahiki. ʻO ka Bamboo, he mea hiki ke hoʻouka houʻia, heʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea e pili ana i ka hoʻolohelohe no kāu mea hana papa. Inā weheʻoe i kahi mea'ē aʻe i ke kumu lāʻau, e nānā i nā mea i hanaʻia mai ka mea i hanaʻia mai nā mea i hana houʻia e like me nā pilako, e like me nā mea i hanaʻia e Poly-Wood.
Hiki paha i kou kua hope keʻano like me ka "'ōmaʻomaʻo" o kou home, akā aia kahi manawa e hoʻomaikaʻi ai. ʻO nā papa hana maikaʻi a me nā papa hana maikaʻi eʻae ai iāʻoe e hauʻoli i ka makuahine me ka hoʻoweliweliʻole iā ia.
