peckingham palace Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've picked a sort of bluey turqouisy colour, probably sounds awful written down but it looks nice on the tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've picked a sort of bluey turqouisy colour, probably sounds awful written down but it looks nice on the tin. Cuprinol Seagrass by any chance? Lovely, that's what I had on my wooden house! Congrats, no wonder you can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peckingham palace Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm am rubbish at attaching pics, but will try. At the moment I have the cube, 3m run and some omlet netting fencing off a large portion of garden under the trees for the girls. The WIR will take the place of the 3m omlet run to save me from crawling around in chicken poo and cricking my old back. It will be quite small but hopefully perfectly formed. Just awiating phone call to say when the driver will arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Can't wait to see it My new intro run is coming at 8 am on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I've ordered one of these from Bay Tree; I've just put the cube up & didn't appreciate how much space behind the cube I'd need to clean it out. So I'm waiting for Chris to call back so that we can have a rethink about where the pop panel & door will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peckingham palace Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Snap my WIR is based on this design, Chris at Bay is so helpful. A couple of the panels have come incorrect, but Chris broke his hand and has had to hire in some help. We gave him a quick call on Thursday just to let him know the situation. He is brilliant and is going to overnight courier the correct panels next week. Had a good day painting yesterday, lots more panels to go though and the weather is not been kind today here Really happy with the quality of the run though, am sure you will be xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Peckingham, how easy have you found it to put the run up? In my case it would just be me & my son; I'm not very practical when it comes to things like this! Did you need any special tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case it would just be me & my son; I'm not very practical when it comes to things like this! Did you need any special tools? Hi snowberry, I am in the process of painting the pieces at the moment so not actually pinned anything together yet, but it looks fairly straightforward even to a DIY dunce like me. My DH is very good at that stuff but I think with a drill, hammer and all the screws etc that come with it, it seems as though there will be minimum arguing when we do come to put it together. I will keep you posted. I think as long as there is a minimum of 2 of you it should be a breeze. Tipping down again here so am trying to paint under the gazebo Dee x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
