    A few alterations

    It's cold but the Suns shining and as works a bit quiet I thought I'd spend the day in the garden .

    Here's what I've been up to

    Before



    And after




    It's quite handy having the poly tunnel on as it keeps the saw dust out of the pond .

    Lots to do in the garden still .

    Another unfinished project .

    Cleveland, didn't realise you had a pergola, why didn't you go for polycarbing the sides and roof for winter would have been far superior. Don't get me wrong I've got a polytunnel but having seen some ponds enclosed with a pergola, would have gone for that hands down

    Love the way you've done the edges of the pergola mate:-)

    The holes are purely decorative .
