Roof Garden

The Ape and I are thinking about utilizing our roof-top as additional garden space and were thinking along this line.
We'd like to add an entertainment area, and will add a spiral that leads up to the roof. In addition we plan on a nice waterfall fountain. And to incorporate many container plantings.
We know it's gonna take some construction. Anyone with any experience? Any ideas?

That is soooo dreamy! It's perfect for you. I love the spiral staircase and waterfall fountain, too. No construction experience though... yet.
Ape owns Construction Company, but not in this area. I was also wondering about putting up a privacy fence around the perimeter of the roof? Anything is possible, this I believe. My main concern is with not causing mold, water damage problmes, and the roof withstanding weight.
We are thinking industrial metal spiral because in the long run it would be easier to maintain than wood. And wood would rot without chemicals, no chemicals allowed.
Very cute... it looks very confortable and relaxing...
BUDDAH!!!! rub my belly!! The color combo is really outstanding!!! Very nice!!
I think it sounds so heavenly and peaceful!
very zen. love the buddhas.
Looks amazing. But what would happen to the tent in the rain?
What a wonderful getaway!!!!! I love it!
*Just be careful that the gazebo is secured ie: Bad weather ~ you don't want a liability issue. I have gazebo like that in my yard (secured) yet it went airborne once in a storm. :(
Other than that it is beautiful and I love relaxing there when I get the chance. I am sure you will enjoy yours as well!
it looks pretty!
I love Japanese taste stuff
this is a great idea
cute. love it
Thanks all!
currently_sarah: The Tent is waterproofed, which is one thing I don't like because that means chemicals. YUCK! But it can be cleaned.
waters_edge: : OOOOO didn't even get that far in thinking. Well we live on an acre so maybe it would not get far! lol. You know that Movie Fried Green Tomatoes? Where in parking lot she rams the VW over and over - loaded down with Insurance? HAAAA HAAAAAA well.
Very cool! It's very eastern influenced. Maybe a fountain like this http://www.serenityhealth.com/envirascape/silver_springs.html
