All the timber is treated Nick, like you say, shame it cant stay this colour but wood always darkens.
Perhaps I should say, I thought you knew but yes I am a carpenter.

Re: Jungle hut
the felt on my roof is to serve as a dual purpose dry area for overwintering recently re-rooted yuccas.it was more important to get that on before anything else was done incase it didnt get done before the cold wet sets in.hope to finish the decking this weekend then i can think about trimming the roof.that will in turn create a bigger dry area to start on the sides should the weather go against me

In greece we used willow screening washy date palm leaves as sun shelter in the reptile house .In the taverna we had date palm leaves as shade .Its a great way to hide that ugly shed .

Re: Jungle hut
I have Google ads set to on, so I can see what ads which relate to posts. It is smart adds so they match the topic title. On Henry's Topic on Moso Bamboo, this ad was at the base of the post, and it fits right in here. I don't know if the prices are expensive or not but the sizes of poles are quite an eye opener for me
Their projects page includes a bamboo bridge and a Gazebo, which should really be a jungle hut
