Thanks for stopping by earlier, otherwise I wouldn’t have know about your wilderness taming adventures. What a lot of work you’ve done. The bean trellis looks good but you’ll be amazed the weight of the foliage and beans in summer. It will get blown about a bit so I’d put bracing poles at each end at a 45 degrees (ish!) angle and maybe on in the middle (you can always grow more beans up it so it’s not a waste).
Good luck
John

Hi Dee
The blue pipe is called MDPE water pipe, I’ve bought a batch from Homebase and another lot from Wickes. The cheapest I’ve seen it is at screwfix.co.uk but you do have to buy 50m at a time.

When you have finished your digging can you do mine Tee Hee!
All the plans i had have gone to pot over the crimbo break. Iv got everything crossed that they are right about Sunday being nice and sunny. A crisp winter day is ok.. but damp with a bitter wind that cuts through you, No thanks ..
er… where did you get the blue tubing for your little tunnels, iv been looking everywhere with no luck! more than likely iv been looking in the wrong place..
Well done on the progress you have made
