Re: Just something I built over the weekend 2Apr 16, 2009 11:22 am I like - but I'm not sure about the bright blue lattice stuff behind the carving - perhaps it's just too bright for me. Are those Koi in the pond? That could be a really nice water garden After 4 years - we're in! Re: Just something I built over the weekend 3Apr 16, 2009 11:58 am I like it too, and I was thinking the same about the blue, but do you have that colour somewhere else to co-ordinate? It would look good if you have something else, like maybe some blue pebbles or an ornament in that blue. Just something small to make it look like a theme and not quite so jumping out. Maybe a pot, or an urn? Re: Just something I built over the weekend 4Apr 16, 2009 12:03 pm Yes we have 3 very large blue pots which is why we painted the lattice blue i might have to get a picture of the pots with the pond so you can see where it is going. it doesn't stand out as much witht he pots in the picture.

I would say no then if I don't know what they are. if they are fish then no, we don't want fish as they probably won't live for very long as the cats and the birds would eat them.

Re: Just something I built over the weekend 6Apr 16, 2009 12:42 pm Koi are huge asian goldfish. I just thought I saw glints of something orange in the water in the first pic.

Looks great also! Are you going to plant something to climb up the lattice? (you started that best climber thread didn't you?)

Looks great also! Are you going to plant something to climb up the lattice? (you started that best climber thread didn't you?) That will look good! Re: Just something I built over the weekend 11Apr 20, 2009 9:22 am That's not a bad Idea, we weren't going to but I might just consider it. the climbing thread was for an archway but I can put the same climber on both!
