  • Ideas/inspiration on my latest blag?

    Found this put out with the rubbish by a posh interior design shop yesterday It's wood, about 4' 6" high and quite substantial (my shoulders still ache!). As you can hopefully see, the side pieces have room for poles/ties or something, they're also hinged and can fold flat to the main part. I have a couple of ideas on what to do with it but would welcome anyone else's thoughts!



    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" he said "Grab your things
    I've come to take you home."

      I should perhaps have been more specific and said gardening related!

      I would tell you off for being such a naughty boy JM... but I think that would only make you worse

        I can't read such twisted posts!

        It is an interesting 'structure', but is probably made of soft wood and might soon rot?

          Probably! I'm going to slap some wood stain/preservative on it and see how it goes!

          I was thinking of attaching some netting and growing peas up either side of it. Might let the kids loose with personalising the 'O&L' bit with our own design.

            I'd make a seat/arbour out of it - fit some nice wood across seaty heighty and have pots either side so that nice smelly plants could grow up and surround you with goodness

            Now, about that whip......

                oooooooo, I like the idea of a seat/arbour. I was gonna suggest summink boring like a tiered planter for strawberries, but nope, I'd go for the seat thingy. Lucky you

                  Love it! I'd nail in some vertical wires/string and grow sweet peas or French beans up it.

                    If you could put a few 'shelves' across you could have an auricula theatre - or just put your geraniums on them. Or trailing toms. Or anything?

                      Oooh, like the auricula theatre idea! I definitely want one of those! The seat idea is great too.
