[Cat]

[Phunky Vicar]

i have indeed cat, i put it on last summer

 

[Cat]

I;ll have find a picture of ours and put it up

 

[George&Ade]

Im thinking of adding some of that "rush matting" over the top to help keep most of that nasty harmfull sunlight out.
Wifes already sorted out some hanging baskets to hang up

we have a clematis growing up ours

 

[Phunky Vicar]

yeah, im planning on doing something like that to mine this year.

the more & more i look @ this pic, the more im soooooooooooooo tempted to build another lol

How many blocks did you use George? im guessing @ about 150 looking @ the pic.

 

[George&Ade]

hi phunky vicar
I actually used approx.230 blocks.
We layed them on their sides as opposed to upright.
The base is about 8 inches thick,then about 3 courses of bricks to reach ground level.
My neighbour who is a builder,did all of the building work while i did all the labouring.
My back was in 2 after..but it was worth it.
Im now looking around local pet stores and garden centres for some more fish.
I would prefer butterfly kio.....they look so gracefull,and of course,i will only add about 1 or 2 at a time.

i like the idea about the clematis cat....but im worried about falling leaves and petals in the pond.
Do they do this?
