Too much water?

Is it possibe to have too much water in the garden?

I am consider building one of these tables out of hardwood but I am wondering if one can get too much water or if it is just nicely themed.

If the wood is properly treated every year or two a set up like that could last for years.You also get no freezing or frost so ice will never be a prob.
I get ice build up in between the boards and nothing I do can fight that off.
A good vinyl cover would also help a lot.

So uhhh....whens the BBQ?

no such thing as too much water

You need to consider mosquitoes, frogs, etc.
Blooming lilies will look nice

I love frogs, livebearers handle the mosquitos + it is next to a mangrove swamp so it won´t really make a difference.

Teak and a few other woods would last 10 years + here even untreated,

I think it would be very cool.

Very neat.

My first thought was being able to treat the wood adequately as well, but if you have wood that will last down there I say more power to ya!

Heck of a conversation piece

I gotta agree with you, food on the table and the little pond in the table, would attract too many insects. It's got a great look visually to it though, not sure of how practical.
