Aloha Originally we were going to just make a 4'X4' cover for a large old hollow tiki to protect it from the elements. The back side will have a low profile so it does not stick up too high above the fence and be somewhat neighbor friendly. It is also completely portable so it can be disassembled and moved if we change our mind. These were taken a few months ago. If the rain lets up I will try to get an update with the Tiki in place |

Thanks Polynesiac.....and we here on the west coast are not as dumb as we look. We actually turn off our AC before we go outside to sit on the deck! Even if we forgot to turn it off I installed a super quiet high effiency condensor that makes less noise than an electric shaver. It's a small space so the sitting area of the deck is about 12'X10' The weeds are happy with the rain Still need to plant stuff The 7' Tiki from the defunct Shelter Isle Apartments in Arcadia, Ca Later I will put something around the condensor, the roof didn't completely protect the Tiki from the wind driven rain. Just around the corner from the Rincon Room.... |

That came together nicely! Looks like a pleasant place to spend a little time. I like the pile of skulls below the tiki--looks like he just ate a pile of heads and spit the skulls out at his feet. Great job! |

Thanks Howland. If you made a solid surround I recommend keeping it at least 10" away from the condensor for proper air flow. Otherwise it will take longer to cool your digs. If you made a lattice type thing then it should be OK. |
