Pigletwillie has done it - I'm sure he'll send you details (and a blog link to the pics.)Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Wow thanks for that. I've now spent far too long reading your blog than is good for me, lol.
Where can I get the water pipe from do you know? Did you draw up plans for the tunnel beforehand?Comment

yes I would like to know wher you bought the pipe, would you be able to post details of what you bought, as I would like to build another tunnel like that
thanks

You can get it from plumbers merchants, mine came second hand from a redundant pumping system at one of our disused quarries. Its not cheap to but but is significantly cheaper than a bought tunnel.Comment

We have located the pipe but can't find any used scaffold poles, well, actually we found some poles but it would cost another 200 quid to get them delivered
. Where did you get yours from? Will anything else do the trick do you think?

As you dont need long lengths of scaffold poles, and they cut quite easily with a hacksaw, can you not just saw them into the short lengths you require and carry them in a car??Originally posted by fredtbad View PostWe have located the pipe but can't find any used scaffold poles, well, actually we found some poles but it would cost another 200 quid to get them delivered.

Just a thought!

Well I'm wondering whether it'll be worth it as the place is down near London. Could do with somewhere more nearer the North. I'll keep searching. We've seen the ready to buy ones for about £500, but it's just got to be cheaper to build your own.Comment
