Jo Ann I try to keep the plants around the perimeter and leave walking space because I entertain some during the summer. so I need floor space. The patio is 60 ft wide and 120 ft long. I still have a few large planters to put together. There is the banana tree, another canna and a few Elephant Ear plants. I do not have a hard time moving the large planters I just push them. They slide easy on the stone flooring a wooden deck would probably be hard but the smooth stone slides easy..
