Outstanding build, Tikifrog! I really like what you've done and of course I am partial to pairing swimming pools with tiki bars. I've been pondering for a while now where I might manage to work in an A-frame in my space and I'm not coming up with anything that doesn't look like it's arbitrarily bolted on, as opposed to a natural extension of the space.

As for the lighting issue with your uber-cool glass and shell wall, individual bulbs may be the answer as opposed to the LED tape. I use candelabra sockets for my glass float lights, and have learned that pairing a C7 led bulb of the same color as the glass float intensifies the color significantly. You could put together a series of sockets behind the glass and match blue, green, amber bulbs with the appropriate glass and you'd beaucoup backlighting effects. That may be more work than you're willing to invest but either way, what you have looks amazing!
