Well. I finally got around to covering up the pool equipment in the backyard as part of the Tahiti Pool Project. Here's a few pics of this stage of the project.

Here is the initial test fit of the PVC framework. I opted to go with pvc for the structure because my carpentry skills are not the greatest.

Added wood to facilitate the attachment of thatch and matting.

Decided to give the Dremel a little workout and make a trim piece for the end.

Trim board and lauhala matting getting the spar varnish treatment.

Starting to attach the matting we got from Oceanic Arts.

More matting attached, on a side note, the side panels are hinged so we can open it up to service the filter and such.

Now the thatch that we also got from Oceanic Arts.

Now it's looking like what I had in mind.

Now we need to get the wall on the side painted to match the other two and cover up the white vinyl fencing, add some netting and other decor and we'll call it a summer.
