Vegas kid what is the "starburst pattern" that they are putting on your patio ends? Your patio looks beautiful, those guys are doing an amazing job. We ended up using a builder that Mr. PB uses and when asked about the opening we said hardy plank siding. We didn't want the open gable look because it was a little too rustic for us from what we've seen in pictures. Now that the hardy siding is up, it really is a bit of an eyesore. But we wanted to somehow close the ends and didn't know any other options and these were the only two that were presented to us.
