make sure you anchor it to the ground or it will fly away in a decent wind. I have a 30x18ft and its anchored in cement have building pics if you want.

Hi Sillydad,

Have a look at

www.overthegardengate.net

Sure I saw this somewhere on here as well but just can't remember where.

i was just looking at that very one on ebay.ie from ashbourne ,it sounds too good to be true after looking at prices else where,i wonder how strong the plastic mesh is,and the poles ,does any one here have one already?
it certainly seems a bargain,i`m sorely tempted to get the same,instead of paying around 900,

Now Sillydad,

I'm a townie, only been out here 7 months, Shanaclough could be the field behind me, we could be next door neighbours and I don't know it, further clues please Laughing

just up past church in castletown top of hill where you in farnamareen

Funny you should live on top of a hill, so do I. Your only 2 or 3 miles from me but which road connects us I wouldn't be sure, suffice to say if you were coming from Beal na mblath, turn left directly opposite Bengour pub, follow the road around to the first crossroads, take a left and I'm at the top of the hill.

That link for the poly house I thought was a good one and possibly very cost effective, probably suitable for alot of sites but not for mine because when it blows up here, boy does it blow
