Hey guys
So this is what our sideyard looks like (area of approx 18m x 5m not taking alfresco)

Our main concern was to close the Alfresco area with something.. like a outdoor blind as it is a deadend for all things wind blows in. It's tiled and gets extremely dirty. So we were thinking something in the line of http://www.ziptrak.com.au/. For the approx area of 3.8m x 2.5m for one blind we are getting rough quote of about $1200-1300
Then we thought maybe instead of that we can do a vergola / Louvre roofs which opens only the length and breadth of alfresco till the fence.. then perhaps the entire sideyard. We havent got quotes but by reading online we have a feeling that our quote might come to upwards of $30k? Maybe something else like retractable roofs like Helioscreen? or another product.. Maybe Stratco frames with some roof which allows lights.. I personally wasn't too keen on the A shaped roofs but can consider it..
We don't know what options we have and what we can do.. wife liked idea of outdoor fireplace but again I don't we have any space to put it and / or location (one side is house bricks and other side is plants)
Please advise..
