@wuff, Actually, I found a Chesterfield look alike some years ago at Domain I think, called the Americana, amazingly comfortable but huge, built for giants, even the chairs were like a day bed in length and I mean by that, that the distance from your butt to your knees was very long but they were indeed comfortable but I wasn't so comfortable with the price, at over $3,000 for a single lounge chair. Cheers, Barbara

Thank you I visited a few stores in Sydney , bo concepts, king furniture , project 82 and finally jimmy possum and decided on the Massimo and Milmo sofa with ottoman from jimmy possum, many reasons, not only because of the impeccable quality of the sofas and the fact it's Austrlaian made, but after visiting the store twice my husband would fall asleep instantly whilst sitting on them, and that to me was the clincher. Very happy with the staff and service from Jimmy Possum located at Moore Park , Sydney. So excited, 8 weeks to go...

Probably Monument would be better suited to the panel lift. The Dark bronze would suit if you want more of an aged look.

continue with the rocks plus ground cover that will eventually cover the rocks...in the meantime the rocks will provide a nice clean surface and be mulch while the ground covers become established but you may find that the path isn't wide enough so some big stepping stones set into the stone mulch will make walking more comfortable and the fence looks good..perhaps you could use the same fencing to create screens for the tank and aircon
