I like it  the wood looks a bit thin, so it would probably need to be in a sheltered area, but it has my approval  reasonable price too. Not the silly £200 a lot are going for.

if i decide to get it, it will be going under a conifer tree so it will be shelterd, i didnt even think about thickness of wood.   nickyx

Hi Nicky, it looks great but it isn't very wide?  770mm is only about 2ft and a little bit wide.  It is about 4ft ish long and about 4 ft ish high at the highest bit. (Sorry about the feet and inches but still work in those to get an idea of how big or small something is)   If you are thinking at any time of getting more girls it could be a bit small?

hiya carol, thats a lovely coup but its too low on the ground, i think the point is hun that its not that big so it wont encourage me to get more girls :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:, i like the other coup as its high of the ground,    nickyx

  i knew you would say that nickyx

make sure you treat it with preservative first Nicky as sometimes they are only stained and the wood isn't properly seasoned. Repeat the treatment every year

I got mine of ebay, probably the same importer. There was more than one selling from the same place, so I went with the one I could collect.  Found there was a piece missing when got home, but it did not matter. We did use decking screws in places. The sliding drawer I waxed to make it easier.
P&P is a fair price as it is very heavy, but get a quote for your postcode.

thanks for the advice,  the postage to me is £24, which is to be expected, everything sent to northern ireland costs a fourtune , ive decided to go for it and im gonna order it, have to be end of the month though as we have just shelled out a whopping £720 on getting our car fixed, gees could you imagine the coup i could have bought for that amount of money   nickyx
