It looked really good with the hot tub in place. We tried to add some roofing, but the material was too stretchy and did stay in place with the strongest double sided tape, and it split when we tried to staple it in place.

We really wanted a fancy roof. We really wanted a fancy roof.

We are Happy with the final results and think that the Fairies will enjoy having a place to rest at night when they are passing through.

It's fantastic to see another one of @JacksProjects!

The vibrant blue, the hot tub and the improved roof are fantastic additions that elevate your project to another level.

You've created a wonderful sanctuary for any passing fairy to pop in and relax.

Thank you for sharing.
