more Balinese Outdoor living area was to use Bamboo instead of lattice work on our pergola. My husband (I am very lucky to have a very handy husband), made framework to go around the bamboo that comes on 3Mtr long rolls. Then he put them as a 30cm border under the roof line of the pergola and a 1Mtr chair rail height between each of the posts to make the pergola area into a outside room. We have added various carvings and wind chimes from each of our visits along with some incense that we buy when we go. We have also planted lots of palms and elephant ears which I have not managed to kill yet!!?? Anyway, it is as close to Bali as we can get when we are not there, especially when I get the Gamalan music going on a warm summer evening and we have a couple of Bintangs.
Hope you backyard turns out to be your Bali away from Bali like ours has.
