Easy, quick setup to get some shade that the monsoons won’t blow away! They’ll get the morning sun and then be under the shade cloth for the rest of the day. Just need to do one more for my section facing south 🙂

Looks great! Did you use cedar? Also, are those E. Ammak’s in the large pots?

Thanks! Just pressure treated hem fir. I have no faith in any wood making it too many years in this sun. Might invest more in it if we decide this is a good set up. The cactus are totem poles. I never liked them before, but they’ve grown on me!

Oh nice, I was just curious because of the color. I like it! It’s pretty much southern pine here on the east side.

Love Totem Pole! I’ve searched for them before but I don’t have the means to overwinter them atm so I’ll have to scratch that thought for a while. I guess it’s the sun, I thought they were Euphorbias 😊
