I am now aching like hell, burnt to a crisp, and sat down with a cup of tea 'coz I think I deserve it!

 

Good afternoon just taking a break its very warm out there, one of the neighbours asked yours truly to put some trellis around her fence ,will finish it tomorrow

 

If it helps, this is the one we have

 

@Snorky85 - Its actually not too bad to store - the rectangular shape helps, as it can tuck away in a corner. It's not heavy at all - our slow coooker is heavier.

Having the fan and heating unit in the bottom, it distributes the air nice and evenly, and it runs fairly quietly. It comes with a good set of instructions/recipes too

 

Operation patio/gazebo is finally complete, as of around half an hour or so ago:


As well as the area out of shot over to the right (as pictured earlier in the thread), the entire patio has been repointed and pressure washed within and inch of its life. There is roughly two bags of slate in each of those tubs that are now 'feet' for the gazebo, the LED bluetooth colour changing lights are all fully installed, and the chairs were all cleaned with a mixture of Shout, Vanish and a battering with the pressure washer. It has taken almost a full week of graft to get to this point, I am burnt to a crisp, and my back and joints are literally screaming at me, but I am quite pleased with the outcome.

Now, there is three litres of Bacardi Oakheart in the kitchen, so it would be rude not to at least try to make a dent in one of the bottles.

I will try and get some video of the lights later on when it gets dark.

 

It depends on how long you keep it and what you want from it. The catkins look lovely before the leaves have formed and, if you keep the lower branches trimmed off you can get a very architectural look.
