Ok, Finally Some Pics

Here are some pics of the creation of the shade sail.

Shade Sail:
In case you don't recall how it looked previously here are some before pics:

View from the kitchen window

View as you come down the driveway



First the poles went in then were left to set for at least a week. The footings are about 1m square.





Then the sail came!





And finally, with it set up for entertaining:



I love the twist in the sail, so much more aesthetic on the eye than just a plane flat rectangle.

As with most things, I was a bit anxious as to how it would look at the end, but I'm very pleased with it.

BBQ anyone?

Hi Noala

Looks like a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee and a chat

Thankyou Reiki-Guy - it's a very good place for coffee and a chat, when are you coming over? :) Will be even better once the pond is done and that other side isn't so barren.

Very nice. Have you used it much since then?

Noala said...

Hi Fej and thankyou for visiting!!

I had a birthday BBQ there last December and sat over there a fair bit over summer and autumn when friends came over.

I haven't been doing much in the way of entertaining though so it hasn't had the amount of use that it deserves. Oh well.

What a great spot to relax in when the summer burns a little too hot.
