Face the seating east
Record demo-driveway-radiant:1:rotate-seat:2026:10:30:17. Read on 30th October 2026.
Turn the chairs to look east, which puts the low sun behind the shoulder instead of across the table.

Survey standing: Mapped: Shade, sky view and daily light are computed from the geometry on this plan. Unmeasured dimensions remain estimates, not verified measurements.
Real-world trial: none yet. Everything above is a forecast from the plan.

Verification queue
- Who can actually see in. Sit where you actually sit and look around. Mark the one window or path you can see a person from. Until one exists, privacy is a question we are not answering rather than one that is fine.This is not a refinement. Nothing can answer this question until somebody marks it. · sit-there
- What you are looking at. Mark the direction of the view worth keeping. No view has been marked yet, so nothing weighs what the view is worth, and a screen that blocks it looks free.This is not a refinement. Nothing can answer this question until somebody marks it. · sit-there
Acceptance checks
- Re-run the reading for reading for an hour at The bench in the shade after installation and confirm the controlling failure is not worse than the forecast for this proposal.
- Check the completed geometry against the decision record before accepting substitutions: bearing 68°.
- Confirm the installed intervention keeps the forecast annual behaviour (seasonal).
- Photograph the completed work from the original reading point and record any change to view, glare, privacy line or usable hours that the model did not predict.
Questions every bid should answer
- Still unanswered: privacy exposure, noise.
- What exact product, fixing/anchoring method and maintenance regime is included in the price?
- Which dimensions or assumptions in this record would your proposal change, and why?
- What is excluded from the price: structural design, footing design, drainage, electrical work, planning/permit work, boundary verification or underground-service locating?
