| Construction in Thailand Is building in Thailand as bad as it seems? Can properties really be built and fitted out to European standards? Would you like to Build your own house in Phuket, or a swimming pool in Bangkok? Solar water heating in Pattaya? Or maybe you want to build a resort or guesthouse on Koh Samui? If you want to build a luxury house in Thailand then this is the forum for you. |

 | Building an attached carport My carport is just not quite as wide as I'd like it. We want to add one on to the front and make it wider. I want to make it from wood. Questions I have are: Is building with teak going to break the bank? Is lattice available in Thailand? I haven't found any. I thought if I used lattice on top with something clear to cover, it would allow light. |

Can I ask, is there any particular reason you want to make it from wood? I presuming it's a question of asthetics? Because even with the usual concrete/tile jobs you see you can make those rather attractive by simply using nice wood trim and/or wood panelling for the roof (underside). Anyways, good luck with it. We're building one right now also as part of our house renovations. | |

 Actually - if I'm getting this right - I think I know what you're on about. Wish I could help but other than saying good luck not really sure what to add. As I say we've gone for the more 'traditional' carport. | |
