Try to leave room all the way around for a man to work.

Never allow glass nearby. Never!

Enjoy!

Thanks Scott
good tip.

I need to make plantings though, because we desire some privacy from the neighbors, or houses are not that far apart.

Any thoughts on the evergreen needles? or other messy plantings?

Thanks

Nice semi portable DIY privacy screen. You can build or have a contractor make it for you. Good way to add color too with the fabric.

Will you be covering it most of the time when not in use? If so, I don't think it'll matter much. I would certainly avoid prickly things--and evergreens often are.

One of my favorite screens from when I lived in your part of the world is Fargesia spp bamboo. There are several species, and most are suitable for your climate and all are pretty. There's a chance it will stay green all winter and that can be really nice. It's a clumper, not a spreader.

I have a few clumping bamboos (Ying-Yang, Black Timor) to screen my pool and spa from the neighbor. They're planted about 6' from the pool edge, and right now I'm pulling bamboo leaves out of the skimmers and vacuum every day. And I need to get a net to help out the vacuum (on my list for today).

But I wouldn't think it would be a problem if you're going to cover the Jaccuzzi.

Thanks, I guess the difference with a jacuzzi and pool is that a jacuzzi gets covered more, hence less of a problem with cleaning leaves, etc. Bamboo was suggested by a friend so I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks. Love the screen Idea, very pretty!
