Why not get those large Lego bricks to build it, you can take it down and start again if not happy and its totally waterproof.

Also included is the box set of dvd for learning things like tiling,dryling,patio laying.

I had no experience at building but then attempted to build my own small wall in the backyard. Whilst it wasn't terrible, I'd be very concerned about attempting to build a large structure that needs to be secure and sturdy. There are youtube videos and other tutorials elsewhere for just about anything so it was easy enough to get some guidance on what to do. A small wall in the garden is one thing though, to build what you want to build, I'd seriously hirer a professional. Maybe you can watch them and then attempt it yourself next time. Saying that though, everyone's different, you could be a natural. If you follow the steps correctly and take your time without cutting corners, why not! I'm just a complete dud when it comes to DIY so I know my limits.
