Pergola repairs?
"Charlie Pridham" wrote in message T... One of the Casualties of the strong winds has been our 30' pergola, this is the second time the 4" tanalised uprights have snapped in strong wind and I have concluded its just not strong enough! I have reluctantly decided to build the pillars up in brick but before I order bricks wondered if any Urglers have used any other method to create the uprights? I didn't know for instance whether there are any square section products like the things you build chimneys out of but in something a bit more decorative than rough concrete, looking to end up with something around a foot square -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea Any good Charlie?

So tomorrow I shall attack the Roses to give me some chance of working, shame though as it will take a year or so to recover and wasn't on my job list so now other planned projects will have to wait. Many thanks for all the suggestions, I guess I had been hoping for something easy!!! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
