      • Warning!

        Right, glad you could join me..........I'm so glad I ventured to the lottie today as the kite had a slight gradient to it.......... Luckily the ropes had stopped it being flattened totally due to the wicked easterly winds & snow drifts......So I went on the prowl & found some timber, I cut notches in both ends & wedged them between the frame & the beds on both sides of the kite...........It's going nowhere now (famous last words).............

        • You're not just a pretty Ape, BM ingenious
          If the Kite has stood up to all that snow its a positive - makes me feel cold just looking at it - but it also shows the worth of a tunnel in keeping the ground out of the weather.

          • Cheers VC, It is so open to the elements, any advice I can give to others is a bonus........I wonder how ancees' kite has stood up to the weather but theirs was more sheltered.

            • With those struts you have a ready made cold frame - just a bit of plastic or bubble wrap on a frame resting on them - bit like double glazing

              • Don't......Just Don't.............................then again, I have about 30 metres of BW needs using up.

                • ..........and, a couple of cup hooks halfway up the struts and you could drop a cane across them, then put your tomato canes/bean sticks to rest against them.

                    Now I like that.

                        Have you ever considered that if I put some uprights in, I can make a table top for potting on and let the toms grow behind the table............would be ok for a shorty but would kill my back.

                        • You could................put supporting legs at the back, where the strut meets the kite, and legs at the front, then a cross piece between them, front and back - to make an open box frame onto which you could drop a table/bench. If its not high enough - you'll have to kneel.

                          • .......or a seat to sit on one side of the path, with a sliding table on the other side............

                            • Ok, enough now I say................The main point is if anyone is thinking of buying one, make sure it is well anchored not only to the floor but by means of uprights as well.

                              • Spoilsport I'm willing to bet that you modify those struts in some way within a few months
