The completed pier and observing patio
Completed Pier at Bill Lofquist’s house in Tucson. The patio is covered will Cool Deck to prevent it from being a large thermal mass and interfering with seeing. Cool Deck is a swimming pool product that actually keeps the concrete cool in Arizona sun. The pier is also mechanically isolated from the patio by a soft foam to prevent vibrations, also a swimming pool product used in concrete expansion joints.
