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 -- Vass |

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. -- The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. |

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. |

TIA British people go nut when there is a hint of warmth (which they have the right too as our weather is so crap).
