Courtyard Villa Walls
Does anyone who lives in a Courtyard Villa know what the walls are made of and if you can drill a hole on them. We know it's not solid concrete...Thanks

You should check with ARC or deed compliance or somebody before doing that. I don't think you own the wall.

This information was mentioned at a garden club meeting several years ago.
The Villa walls are owned by TV. When they want to repaint the walls their people will rip out anything growing up the walls and remove any plants on the wall, and the homeowner will have to remove decorative items. Suggest you follow previous poster's advice on this one.

Yes we see stuff on walls all over as well as murals we just want to know what they're made of, that's the question....We were told the owners own the wall, but then again, could be false info. Thanks for the info

The answer to your question regarding what the wall is made of depends on where you're located. The wall can be concrete block with stucco, wood with stucco or solid concrete. Take the advice of others and do not attach anything permanently to that wall because then you have the potential for water intrusion! I would never penetrate my wall on the courtyard villa wall or my house to hang anything on it.

The walls appear to be either cinder block (with a decorative overlay), or PVC. I totally agree with above comments, ask before you do anything. If you want to hang something. maybe you could look into or fashion a hook that would go over the top of the wall and provide a hook on your side. I would use stainless steel, other wise you may end up with lots of rust stains.

At the junctures in the cinder block walls if you want to hang a garden plague, or something similar a small stainless steel screw can be put in without damaging anything. As recited above though, use stainless.

To find out about YOUR wall, maybe call the Home Warranty Dept. I'm sure they know everything about your dwelling. Maybe they have info about your wall.

Thanks, it seems the wall is not solid concrete and I suppose the upkeep is on us to paint etc.... We just moved in not too long ago and never thought to ask about that.....
