Creative use of 6 flagstones?
« on: March 24, 2008, 20:06 »
I have just acquired some flagstones after being told there were "loads" to be had, it turned out that there were only 6, but 6 flag stones are better than none :D  doesn't look like i'm going to build a path with them, so does anyone have any ideas on how to be creative in the use of said flags???

Depends on their size and the spae you have.

I've always fancied a stone table for putting pots on, but that depends on the sizes of cause  :D

You could try doing a VERY small henge  or barrow :roll:

How about a sort of stepping stone path ? Maybe involving huge leaps in between ?

Another thing that occurred was a small rectangular pond surrounded by the flags.
Would attract insects, birds, frogs, etc and be a nice feature to sit by.

If that's practical.
