Recycled garden swinging seat.

Post: # 177418Post Cligereen »

I had a wooden garden seat (the type that swings from chains from an 'A' frame) it also had a canopy over it. I say had because during some very high winds the swinging seat became a flying seat and the 'A' frame split.

It was good timber so rather than use it as fuel in the range I decided to re-use it.

The 'A' frame got some netting applied to it and became a very useful frame to grow the runner beans up this summer.

The seat was basically OK but of course it had no legs, so I got two large stone slabs and set the seat on those in the veggie patch. I use this to survey all my good work :wink:

The wooden frame from the canopy got some thick polythene attached and is now a huge cloche that sits perfectly over a raised bed. I've put the rooted strawberry runners under this so I should have more strawberries than the birds next summer with any luck. :thumbright:

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
