Advice needed for garden bench around tree
I realize this might not be the most appropriate newsgroup for this
query, but hope someone here can steer me in the right direction. We want to build a bench around a large old tree trunk (we just had the tree cut down to about 14 feet and want to plant vines around it). I distinctly remember, some time ago, seeing a catalogue that carried the joint hardware for those hexagonal or octagonal benches that fit around trees; you supply your own planking or two-by-fours -- pretty much like the joint hardware for raised garden beds etc. I can't find it anywhere now. I've ransacked all my catalogues and gardening magazines, to no avail; they all either sell entire benches or kits that are fairly expensive. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can they point me to a source? TIA. |

I can't answer about the hardware you need, but I looked at this link today and did see this project. http://www.u-bild.com/projects-outdoor/911.htm Oren "My doctor says I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes." |

you are looking for hardware for an octagon tree bench. it takes metal 45o angle
metal joints. you may be able to find these at your local hardware store. a 4 sided object needs 90o a 6 sided object needs 60o an 8 sided object needs 45o Ingrid spampot wrote: I realize this might not be the most appropriate newsgroup for this query, but hope someone here can steer me in the right direction.
