Thankyou Betty, but all the hard work was down to my boyfriend , we are Kitchen Fitters, so carpentry is he,s work really, it was all reclaimed wood that we got from old kitchens that we rip out, so it did,nt cost us much, we just repainted it to make it look nice. But i big thankyou to you for your help, could,nt have done it without you  ;D

It's looking really good!  The fruit cage is fantastic, it looks nice and strong.  Someone on our site wants to make one using that type of netting.  Did you send away for it?

Yes i found them on the web, the cheapest ifound actually, especially as it is not plastic netting, its nylon, i got the bigger ones to keep the birds out from the fruit cage and i bought a smaller hole one for my tunnels, i tink in total it cost me £ 68.00, but it was worth it, very east to work with, i will send the link over for you.

The whole structure is very sturdy, my boyfriend spent 3 weekends on it, i think everybody thought we were putting a bird cgae up, i did say i was gonna get some parrots for it, that shocked them all.
