i think i'll go with black on black for the timbers & brackets. try and keep it all so the eye slides away rather than getting hooked up on one detail. Lofty dreams!
I need to find somewhere I can get an 8" kingpost in the round about 10' long..
Telegraph pole or similar if anyone in Aberdeenshire knows a source?
There's an ex electricity pole sitting in a field near me.
Would it be available

Not wishing to hijack this thread and unsure wether to post here or the "every little counts thread" but ................
tonights success ........
Have always been unhappy with heatpump outside unprotected -even though they are designed to be outside . Covers are usually cheap painted steel exposed to all the elements.
So have put a cover on mine.
Love these micro inverters , - temporary electrical connection ,but my dedicated solar circuit (so i can monitor) is only approx 5m away.....
Evening (and morning shade tho) .
