Also, I'd be interested in all thoughts on backyard planning. I was trying to think "outside the box". I know about extending the lanai and adding a birdcage, but has anyone done or seen other things in the back yard? Also, is it possible to put a shed in the back, as long as it's not seen from the front of the villa? Could you possibly store your golf car in a shed, if you widened the gate?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
I can't speak to the bungalow yard layouts but we have a corner lot CYV with a pool and spa under a birdcage facing the golf front. We were only regulated by the "setback" limits which presented no problem. The corner side yard is a secluded garden with a large pergola in the center and a walkway to the pool. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send a couple of pictures.

I don't think sheds are allowed, especially in the newer areas, nor can you widen the gate entrances enough to get golf carts through.

Enjoy this planning part. It's lots of fun!
