Hi guys We love both! A common misconception we've found with freestanding baths and spas is that they're simply be too heavy to move around for cleaning purposes. To make cleaning manageable, our 100% Australian made baths and spas are manufactured using Gelcoat composite construction which is extremely strong yet not overly heavy (5mm thickness to ensure structural rigidity and increased thermal properties). So one of our baths is typically around the 40-50kg mark which allows most people to easily slide the bath out from the wall for easy cleaning access. Freestanding stone baths are a different story altogether! Regards, Brad AQVA Luxury Baths & Spas

How about a few framed prints of plants, hung at eye level will give the foliage look you want without the worry of keeping them alive and will add a decorative point for this space.

I would start by replacing the chain wire fence (if you can). Depening on how big the space is, you could look to replace the lawn with paving and create a real courtyard feel. That would give a nice solid base for a table and chairs or an outdoor lounge. Pots to provide seasonal colour are a good idea and can be replanted or moved around to change the look of the space over time. All the best with it!

Is this your own property or a body corporate building? If yours, you could make an appointment to speak with someone in building department of your Council to discuss what type of roof (design and acceptable material) would be required, including permit. Then you could take this information to a local builder or Reno specialist, building designer or draftsperson to explore viable options.
