Would like to know what killed them off. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're at ours nightly and have been for a couple of years now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not much cheaper what I've done but it's bigger, better built, treated timber, better commercial type accessories so it should last for a hell of a lot longer. Reckon it'll last till these two are bored of it that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
