Grand Designs

We missed having somewhere to hang the hammock, and based on a design we'd seen at Preston Park children's playground, had always fancied a hexagonal pergola.

A lot of the logs we'd been left for firewood remained uncut, so we decided to use some of them for construction rather than combustion.

With the help of Leo, one of our neighbours and his digger to dig the post holes, construction began.
Just the 2 of us heaving logs about - some expletives were uttered, but in the end, the frame was up.
4 of the 6 sides will eventually be trellis with bench seats
