Been seeing these spring up around the garden centres, with price tags of £
6k to £ 9k+!!

http://www.eastofedenplants.co.uk/tr...t-in-a-day.htm

Strikes me the DIY'er could build this at a fraction, even the build is
detailed at the bottom of the page.

Question though, those huge telegraph poles, are they sunk in the ground or
just affixed to the base?
whats your thoughts?

TIA

As a hard standing is already in place, from the pictures
it's clear the poles are attached to the base only.
Not too keen on the look myself.

Just attached, I guess, which is slightly horrible. I'd attach a tie
between the tops.

Tone down the tiki, go with a UK species green roof on the top, and it
wouldn't be a bad thing in the larger garden.

In the sun they look great but what about the other 10 months of the
year? Bit of a liability IMO keeping them free of mildew and rodent
infestation.

British people go nut when there is a hint of warmth (which they have
the right too as our weather is so crap). It would only usful for 2
months of the year and have rotted away in 5 years.
