Other than Google, how does one look for specific architectural products?

St. George's Fields

I think the topic speaks for itself.

Sometimes, I think I come up with clever ideas. But most of the time, those ideas have been well documented. Right now, I have an idea for no-dig fence posts using a combination of water drilling and pneumatic concrete. But I'm at a loss of even trying to find such an idea.

4specs.com is good (not great but better than most)

click on 32: Exterior Improvements
go to 32 3100 - Fences & Gates
all kinds of fence types. Each category will have a bunch of manufacturers listed.

'water drilling and pneumatic concrete' sounds like a three stooges episode.

agreed with urbanity. Sweets catalogue has been de facto standard for architectural products. Arcat is goto source for specs.

I find both of their online catalogues frustrating to navigate though.

"Bad Request" is what I get everytime I try to go to construction.com.

Anyone else have this issue?

first take your Ipod headphones out of your ears. Then get up off your desk. Then go to your office product library.
