Checking out prices on shade sails and shade cloth between sites.

Oh cool. Kmart has a submersible solar fountain pump for cheap. I don’t want to get extra stuff and wouldn’t be able to handle keeping it clean but if someone wanted a water feature… just make sure to have rocks or sticks to let wildlife climb out though if it’s not shallow, avoid a drowning hazard.

Edit: They want a $50 delivery fee on 2 metres of shade cloth and 3 small clamps. Good one Bummings
