BACKGROUND
Folly Beach, South Carolina has earned its nickname of ‘Edge of America’. It’s an eclectic beach front town revered for its fierce independence nestled at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

I’m guessing 30 years or more lifespan. Other than the fasteners, I try to use all reclaimed material. If we had a slogan it would be ...
‘Used, abused & reused with love from Folly Beach South Carolina.’
