Although she's coming around now that she realizes I intend to finish it. :wink: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=28247&forum=18&102

Great find and a very nice looking bar so far. It's in the fencing area. 4'x 6' roll for $49.95 I cut it to fit and now have 100 little bamboo sticks. I think I'll make wind chimes with them.

Found some big poles for the trim but it was a chore since most where split in places. What is up with that? [ Edited by: Johnny Atomic 2009-04-24 09:59 ]

If I didn't already have a hut this would be exactly what I would do. Keep us posted with progress pictures.

If I didn't already have a hut this would be exactly what I would do. Keep us posted with progress pictures. There's a big trend now with converting sheds to "he sheds" or "she sheds." Kinda in the man cave genre. In England they call them pub sheds.
