The last few things for the patio are in a state of flux. We need something to contain the dogs when they're out there with us.
The first plan was a six foot long bench that doubles as a three foot tall wall. We decided that would be too heavy to move for us to get into the backyard.
The bench then became a prep countertop next to the grill doubling as the same three foot wall. Again, weight could be an issue. Also, both of those had design challenges I wasn't looking forward to.
That has now transformed into a planter box with a gate. Which then became a two level, "L" shaped planter box with a gate. Which then became a three level, square-ish planter box with a gate.
I was considering incorporating a water feature in there, too, but didn't want to run more electrical the other way from what I'm already doing. I will be doing a self watering thing with the planter, though.
