Yes please keep us up to date, you can get angled fittings for the fall pipe a few more option's below to give you ideas what you could do.

Hi Igloo,I've only just caught up with this thread.You've done a fantastic job, you should be proud There are many lovely climbers out there, both perennial and annual. In fact for some near instant colour you can still pick up pots of Sweet Peas to plant direct where they're to flower.

Hi New here, just saying hello. Frank

I presume its this type of look rustic, i nearly did my summer house in it.

If your never likely to use it again, its worth it.If you think you might need it to put up the odd shelf, might be worth buying one.

Saw this and thought of all the members who can make things.Use pallets ??

Sounds like the Manneken Pis here in Belgium

Thank you all! I realise now that the picture is quiet dark, but I assure you it's actually quite light in that corner for the Rose - fingers crossed it grows a bit!It's not as fantastically green as I'd like as we're a little concerned about the potential for things in pots to go missing...

Like others have said, I'd go for groups of containers.I don't know if they are available in the UK, but here we do get some lovely large half-barrels, that are used to mature young red wine in (can only be used once, and then disposed of, so relatively cheap for their size). The advantage of...

Thats part of what makes gardening interesting...one never knows what will happen.

Looking good! Im hoping to do something very similar myself soon!

Looks great ! Even if the Dinosaur lane discipline needs improvement

Had a couple of fairly bright days so got back to my garden project. I've moved and partially filled a raised bed I made last year. I made another L shaped one also and I'm planning on making another 2 but another board higher and slightly wider. Before you ask both of the beers are mine ! Had...

Very nice. Slate? Darker flowers with just a few highlights would keep with the contemporary theme.

I haven't got him!

If there is particular type of paving you like? If there is then find which one you like and then you can mention the type of paving you want to trades people before they come over so at least the have an idea of what you want.P.S Congratulations on the baby:-)

A mechanical digger for the Hazels perhaps? Hmmm, Hydrangeas like coastal locations (sandy soil). Perhaps it's worth planting one just to see how it performs. I'm not so sure about Rhododendrons I think they would probably struggle.I hope your dog is feeling better.
