Whichever season in case of outdoor we have to fight against the elements of the nature...

Ken Kelly lives in Santa Ynez, CA very near Santa Barbara but inland. Has very warm to hot summers although very low humidity and winters can get below freezing at night.
BetaNuSigmaPhi,
I enjoyed your outdoor videos. Using FlexTrack or Fastrak is pretty neat just laid out on the grass. The ones in both countries on the patios offer a solid foundation and I liked your grain elevators and utility poles offering some scale scenery. Having very little room indoors and very little time to build a layout right now, I have reverted to setting up a small loop of track on the picnic table. I could put it on my patio as well, but it is only 12x12.
What base did you put under your Olive Garden track? Saying the weather is like California makes me think you wouldn't have a problem with freezing and thawing like we do here in Pennsylvania.
Do you have an indoor layout too?
Thank you for the videos.
Outdoor I used temporarily RealTrax with plastic trackbed, ScaleTrax or Atlas 3-Raul tracks is the best material for the garden, but you need a good and insulated foundation under the trackbed.
Not to recommend tubular Track material especially in coastal regions due to salty humidity. It doesn't matter, Pennsylvania or Polynesia, if you love outdoor railroading, you just do it at least during the dry season. I run also indoor in my basement, in expositions and in our club premises, please, look the videos in my/our channel...
