I guess that is the answer then. Mrs Lord is gonna love that as the Butia is near the front yard- the southernmost point of our duchy.

Thanks for your help. 8)

Ah, the Mrs.
My Butia hut was in the backyard.
The Mrs. loves showing the Butia off to her friends in the Summer when it looks fabulous.
She was happy to hide the plastic monstrosity my 10-year-old and I made with scrap materials for about US$0.
For a palm hut in the front yard, you might have to work on the aesthetics.
Can anyone chime in here and maybe post photos of front-yard-worthy palm huts?

It will past muster, for now at least. We have a large azalea blocking it. If it grows though...

Its not totally in the front but on the side yard visible from the street.
