    Good luck with your project Greenleaves. Looks like youve got yourself a lovly plot.

    And when your back stops aching,
    And your hands begin to harden.
    You will find yourself a partner,
    In the glory of the garden.

        Is it me, or is there a path-and-bed structure under there?

              At the back of the plot they are a number of this scaffold type stagings, going to get them sand blasted, paint them and use the to create a fruit cage

                My parents back garden was 100 foot and my father kept it tilled and had a greenhouse on it.
                When he died I took it over and I have to say it was hard work keeping on top of it all as I didnt live there and had to travel back and forward.
                Wish I had the chance to do it all again snd I will be watching you enviously, and of course urging you on.

                    I'm on my phone - so can't see your pic too clearly.

                    Although it looks a bit like kwikstage scaffolding- there used to be a few bob involved in selling that stuff second hand.

                      Would it not be more cost effective if you just gave it a coat of Hamm3rite GL?
