Oriental Garden, Ideas and advice please.

Minime

I have a garden, some 35 feet by 63 feet.

I was hoping to get some practical advice
on layout and construction of the garden.
Most valued will be advice on pagodas,
concrete molding. I'm hoping for directions
trade suppliers and recomended retailers.
But I would love to build these things myself,
so if anyone has a links to plans I would be most greatful.

Fountain and Decor on the Nass road are the best for Pagodas and Japanese style lanterns. I completed a garden in 02. Have a central theme like a pond complimented with bamboo and Jap style furniture. The pagoda tea house was built in 3 stages: Concrete base for 4 4X4 posts cut to level. 6 plain concrete slabs on sand for the base. The most difficult bit was the roof. The runners were cut from 1 1/2 X 8 joices to give the curve up effect at the ends. Used plain latts for the tile effect. Capped with ply wood. Trellace to finish the framed sides. copied the design and miniaturized from pagoda at jap garden at powerscourt co Wicklow.
