Oh my.....
Ok, so.... I attacked the vegetation of the waterfall and pond adjacent to the hut.
Before:
After:
Coconuts are in the beds around the pond to discourage critters. It works!
Installing some bubbles and LED lighting to the pond for evenings.
I'll start on the hut next.
Heres a shot of the hut in "top down" mode for rain.
Here is the current pic of the BBQ Hut on the other side of the pool...
Mahalo for looking!

The McTiki space is alive and well
Plus you have to give your tools a chance to cool off now n then Mr McAwesome

Now I see where you get the panel inspiration from.
And what kind of kritters does the coconuts keep out & why?
All looks real nice.

LOL.... yeah, I have always liked those holed leaves. And waterfalls..
The coconuts make it impossible to walk near the waters edge if you have 4 legs, much less two. We get an occasional Coon that views the menu from time to time. And cats.
Mahalo!

Hence the foliaged top to hide the finned ones from the winged ones!
But, yeah, one morning, I had a heron eyeballing the fish from the deck.
