    Notice you have " The Wild West" in your location. Try O Briens timber products. Prices are on their website of same name and are quite good AFAIK.

    Good work. Plan on covering up the concrete wall with trellis and/or creepers?


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 7,730 Mod ✭✭✭✭delly

    Sell Christmas trees to raise the e7,000,000,000 needed? :D

    Honestly, it must seem a huge task, but your so lucky to have so much space. :)
