Wichita conditions
What outdoor projects in Wichita actually take
Wichita's Plains storm-and-freeze cycles shorten the outdoor season, so the value is in extending it: frost-depth footings that survive heave, covered structures, heaters, and materials that take freeze-thaw without spalling. A patio built on shallow footings here lifts and cracks within a couple of winters.
