Articles on Mesh Fences, Bushes, Trees and a very cheap Flying Saucer








Hope they are useful to someone, any comments let me know  :D

Germy;
Thanks for the wire fence idea...I have been trying to find something to make the same type of fence...great little tutorial. I'll have to go get some and do this myself. Great website full of very effective ideas. Thanks for sharing.

This is great, I really like the saucer and the removable crash debris - superb idea.  8)

If you and Matakishi ever decide to collaborate on a project, Poundland could become bigger than Tesco!
