Recycled garden swinging seat.

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
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.
