      They be good for kids in, say, the play area of a garden. But I think they'd clash a bit with my kind of garden!!:D:coffee:

      my father made something similar many years ago .... I'm talking about the table

      he bought a steel drum which contained heavy electrical cable (similar to this table, but it was round and had 2 'table tops' if that makes sense?...

      he cut the bottom (table top) off and cemented the base into the ground ... the top had a hole in which he inserted a metal pole and made a thatched roof (called a Lapa)

      he put cement into the table top, and tiled the top with italian tiles

      he made a plinth, and tiled that with the same tiles as on the top.... the chairs were old wrought iron chairs with loose cushions .... this was situated next to the swimming pool .... looked similar to this, except there was only one support which went through the centre of the table:

      [​IMG]

      a good market for these here in the UK? .... I have not seen any, and could be a good business venture if one teams up with someone who knows how to thatch ....

        I also think there would be an interest.
        Then you can give the clients the "Greek" option meaning of columns built in different circumferences to make them appear the same size from a chosen perspective.
