    We have installed a Klargester Bio Tank in our garden unfortunatley it has left us with a green plastic dome in the grass has anyone any ideas as to how to hide it? We need to remove the cover at least once a year it is approximatley 6' in diameter.

    Hi Rosylee and welcome, maybe you could make a square timber frame just a bit bigger than the diameter of the lid and cover it with decking (like a dais) you could then put tubs or pots of your favourite plants on it,it would be easy to lift things off once a year.

    Thank you walnut for your reply.
    I had thought of putting decking around it but thought it might stick out like a sore thumb. I have a cottage, the back garden has hedging both sides which is a mixture of fushia,blackthorn,holly etc. The tank is approx 30' from the back of the property set to one side . Someone mentioned to me that a small dry stone wall might be the answer then make a frame on top of that finishing off with a water feature.

    why not simply hedge it off, personally id gor for fast growing evergreen shrubs. IMO by puting in decking etc you may inadvertently make it more of a feture, shrubs will blend in.

    Thanks we did think of putting a water feature on the top of it as well it might be better if I took a photo for people to see the problem we have.
