Hi All, I just finally got photo's of the yard with the water fall done. We have worked on the whole space for 2 years now. Our next project that I want to work on what is currently the Vollyball court next. It seems that although most people like Vollyball, most want to Drink and watch the game, not play a game.....lol My choice as well.
So, the vollyball court will go eventually. Just wanted to share with everyone our tiki yard.This site has given me renewed passion for tiki, or maybe up'd the passion is a better term Thank you all for that.
Amy

You have an amazing yard, thank you for sharing the pictures!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your volleyball court.

Way Cool! I am extremely jealous of the waterfall....
Until you actually get to the Volleyball area, you can just drop the net and do limbo instead.....

I've been to Amy's house and her yard is amazing! She's got a ton of Tikis (two giant ones that shoot fire out of the top!), a Tiki "Mai Tai" fountain and a bunch more. Amy, how about photos of your converted Tiki Lounge carport?!?

Hills! You've got hills! I'd love to have hills like that in my backyard, but alas, Florida is flat. Beautiful backyard you have. Love the iron fire-breathing tikis. Where did you find those? Do you have any night pics of them with fire? Fire and water make a great combination in a landscape.

Thanks rob, The firebreathers were made for me. I saw a picture a friend showed me of something that looked like it. I showed the picture to my landscaper and he knew a welder who could make them. They have tanks in the basehere is the only nite shot I have...

Hi Dean,
On all the Sandy area, other then the volleyball court, I used crushed granite, its reasonable, hardens fast and makes everything look neat, comes in colors too. The volleyball court is just beach sand 5 inches worth

Forgive my ingorance, but what are those Dorito looking sun shades suspended over portions of the area and where would you suggest looking for them?
