Garden ornaments

We have added a new statue to the garden, this one was made by a friend who caves lightweight concrete blocks!

Once they age they look just like old stone carvings.

Your garden just gets better and better Gaz.
I'm sure those carvings will look just great in their tropical setting.

 

Its a good carving Gaz, but I'm just wondering how that kind of block copes with frost, you could just have a pile of dust by spring perhaps.
Or has it been frost tested before?

 

Those were my thoughts as well.

It would be a shame to see something so good ruined. It's only a matter of time before it will happen.:(

 

Not had any problems with thermalites frost shattering, unless they have a salt content, so don't let the dog wee on them.

 

Gary, who makes them, has had several out in his garden for a number of years without any problems. Quite a few of the blocks he uses are foundation blocks which seem to be quite tough.

 

Very nice Gaz, :thumb: glad to see gary has been busy again.

 

Hi Alan, good to see you popping up on here!
