Finally the screening repair on our pool cage is done, and I'm ready to move all the orchids back into place. We did make a change in the corner where the dining table sits. The screening was replaced with what is known as 'Florida glass' which is screen with a plastic coating. So that corner outside the door will be protected from the rain now, and I have a nice big 'refuge' for the orchids when the rain gets just too much. It provides more shade in that area, too, so we can eat lunch outside in the spring and fall, as well as the winter. We only did the south and west-facing panels, as I wanted the morning sun to still come through the east side.

I've been experimenting with attaching things to the trellises on the west side, and found that the 6in. wood slat baskets fit nicely between the 'rungs' on the trellis. My nice cork mounts attach easily with plastic coated wire ties, too.
