Hello everyone,
I am currently thinking about the shading for my 5x5m (16x16 ft) wooden deck, which will be used as an outdoor dining area. Normally, I would have installed a louvered roof without hesitation. Until I saw this:
Is such natural shading practical? The distance between the crab apple trees is exactly 5m (16 ft), which matches our dimensions perfectly. Which plants are suitable for this? Preferably not ones that attract a lot of insects...

The landscapers say it should be cast with resin, but then I would never be able to access it again if I need to rewire something.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Why not use a junction box suitable for underground installation? For example, the well-known universal coupling.Maybe we are allowed to mention a name: Friedl. They are reasonably priced and provide a reliable seal in soil (personal experience). Available in various sizes.
