Ideas/inspiration on my latest blag?

[Seahorse]

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 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!

Moderator, moderator.... where's a Mod when you need one???

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......

i love it!!!! i would change my name to Osbourne and get a new man called "little" and there you have it, the name for your house! lol.

Seriously, i think its rather quirky and a great blag, i would defo try the peas they would look fab!

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?

[Seahorse]

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

Thanks everyone Just need some better weather so I can get working on it now!
