Aluminum Railings

In order to re-build your railing using approved materials, you will need to purchase 3/4" square aluminum railing pickets. You may re-use your existing top and bottom railing if they are in good condition.

Here is a response from the company we found had the best prices on approved materials for our Aluminum Railings - Hansen Architectural Systems:
Todd: Thank you for contacting our firm regarding pricing for the replacement of railing sections on your property. Hansen specializes in the manufacturing and installation of aluminum lanai railing. We have been very active in Hawaii for nearly 20 years. We build powder coated or anodized railings for projects in various sizes and configurations. Your existing system is mounted with grout into core pockets in the lanai slab. These railings will have to be cut off flush at the slab and then new core pockets will have to be created for the new railing system. Aluminum railings in close proximity to the beach have a service life of about 40 years. Once the picket fasteners are corroded, the railing framing is no longer functional and must be replaced. You would expect the same service life out of your next generation railing system. The removal of existing railing and coring of new post pockets is not included in the pricing below. We can provide pricing for those functions once a field survey has been completed. The prices below are based on a minimum order of 550 linear feet of railing. Pricing: Materials only: $88.00 per linear foot + GET – delivered to the project Materials and installation: $127.00 per linear foot + GET – installed. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. Thank you.

Tables & BarBQ area

Tables were getting a bit old and worn out after all these years

















From a distance this is what we were using and their dark brown color











This is what we ended up with after the painting. The light green color matches the trim on our buildings. This confirms ownership to visitors and aids in privacy concerns.

THE SURFRIDER FOUNDATION’S OAHU CHAPTER PRESENTSTHE 9th ANNUAL JOHN KELLY ENVIRONMENTAL AWARDS PARTY Honolulu, O’ahu

(Nov. 7, 2011): On Saturday, December 3rd, the Surfrider Foundation’s O’ahu Chapter will present the 9th Annual John Kelly Environmental Achievement Awards. The celebration will be held at Waimea Valley Pavilion and will feature live music from the Intire Project and a few surprise guests. Tickets are $60 for general admission, $75 at the door and sponsor tables begin at $750. All proceeds will benefit Surfrider’s O’ahu Chapter and their efforts to preserve our coasts. The ceremony is in honor of John Kelly, the legendary waterman and environmental leader who started Save Our Surf and fought to protect Hawai‘i’s coastlines from overdevelopment. Kelly and SOS helped to save 140 surf sites on O’ahu and around the state, while also stopping many destructive developments. Following in his wake, Surfrider’s O’ahu Chapter has worked with other organizations to help preserve Pūpūkea-Paumalu (aka, Save Sunset Beach), Kaka’ako Park and Waimea Valley. The party will feature spirits from Barefoot Wine & Bubbly and a variety of local beers courtesy of Kona Brewing Company. Other sponsors include RevoluSun, Brett & Dee Thomas at Surf 4 Hugs, First Wind, Patagonia, the Kokua Foundation Hawaii, Green Magazine and Nella Media Group. Former Lifetime Achievement Award winner Mark Cunningham will serve as the evening’s emcee. This year’s awardees have done inspiring work to improve their communities and protect our marine environment. Cora Sanchez will be given the Lifetime Achievement Award for her efforts in helping to create the Pūpūkea-Waimea Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD). Cora was also a co-founder of Surfrider’s O’ahu Chapter (along with former winner Peter Cole) and the Friends of Shark’s Cove. She has worked tirelessly to help protect the North Shore’s coastlines and “Keep the Country Country!” The Kona Brewing Company will receive the Environmentally Friendly Hawai‘i-Based Company Award for their role in promoting sustainable practices at all their facilities and advocating for coastal preservation. The company helps organize the Kona Brewers Festival, which raises money for educational, environmental and cultural organizations. Along with installing solar and using recycled building materials at their facilities, Kona Brewing Company continues to support local efforts to protect beaches and coastlines across Hawai‘i. Kyle Thiermann will be given the Professional Surfer Award for creating a five-part video series, Surfing for Change, to encourage individuals to change their life habits to help save the environment. Kyle’s video “Where Is Away? Solving Plastic Pollution in 4 Minutes” shows how wasteful and destructive single-use plastics are to the marine environment and encourages people to bring their own reusable bags and bottles. Held each year in honor of John Kelly, the Awards Ceremony honors those individuals and organizations that have followed in his footsteps and continued his legacy of environmental leadership.

Rock Wall

Before we get into the pictures of the wall, I would like to extend a personal mahalo to those that donated funds to make this wall happen:

Terry & Kathy McGaughan, Paul & Lauren Martin, Al & Babe DaSilva all for their very generous support.












This is the entrance to Parking Lot B after the lights have been installed.

As an extension and completion of our fence project, it was determined that a rock wall would complete the project. The Board looked at various designs and determined that this one would look the best.

The next two pictures are the completed walls to Parking lot A



















These next two pics are the completed entrance walls to Parking lot B















Here's a view of the walkway from inside the property looking towards Haleiwa Rd.




This is one look at the right side of entry at Parking lot B before we built the planter.

The Walkway before the wall










Beginning of right side parking lot A. I removed the hibiscus plant here on the end where the rock wall would be seen and transplanted it by the walkway where there were voids in the hedge.










Beginning of left side parking lot A










Here is where I removed the hibiscus plant from where the wall was being built as it would have blocked the view of the wall. I also removed a crouton plant along the left side of the wall and transplanted it. There is a need for about 4 more hibiscus plants in this area (as seen in the next picture). The next picture is where we did the transplanting of the hibiscus.
