Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 An update on the seating area I'm doing. Cleared the rest of the muck and started putting together the frame. I know it's technically not gardening yet but there will be plants going in it and on it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I've no cash at moment to do anything much. Moved the washing line and stones around it. 25 22.5kg bags carried from my car as parking isn't by door. The back bit was all rotten decking. So before the new kitchen and flooring went in I took it all out and through house. Over fence not option. Covered the area in weed liner for now. @Shandon Par or any others good at knocking a bit of decking together?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Got a bit more done this weekend. I messed up with the height. The seating part is too high to put your feet on the ground comfortably. I may have to put a step running along the bottom. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a set of stringers running along the underside of the cross braces and out about 8” or so would support a nice step at the right height….good planning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrbridgeSaintee Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Looking to use an old Stove as a planter; please see below. The flue pipe will come out the back and emanate vertically, so I’ll fill it with soil and have some sort of plant that hangs down - fuschias perhaps. On the top will sit a couple of plant pots or something. Looking for advice for something that will grow inside the doors and flow out. Thinking this may be tough given it’ll hardly see any sunlight. Anyone got any ideas? Edited May 25, 2023 by CarrbridgeSaintee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tx. Just looked that up, and it looks like the shade aspect wouldn't be an issue. Just trying to think of ways I can sort out the drainage! :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
