The potted plants are an excellent idea, and if done with large enough pots you could get some hiding factor out of them. And, as potted plants your association probably couldn't sat anything. An alternative until the landscaping matures is to skip the thatching for now. Use bamboo, bacbac or other materials all over the actual bar and leave the roof/highly visible parts somewhat plain. With the addition of some simply lighting you should be able to get at least the vibe of the Tiki bar even if it doesn't have all of the traditional elements. Start slow and add a little every season and the neighbors are less likely to rat you out. Remember, you are not required to have thatching and a whole bunch of other stuff to have a tiki bar. Go with what you can and add the rest as you can get away with it. |
