Did you get the proper corner pieces Stav . There’s no corners on this one, it’s just 8 in a row, it’s more of a decorative thing, it’s not holding anything back, we did a big one on the river leven and we were following a plan, with corners and stacks, by day 2 my grinder was out and I cut them up and made them myself, how anyone can do a plan without being able to put them in is beyond me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t use the wire now, I use the spirals, it takes minutes to put them together, it could be a right ball ache stitching them together especially when step stacking 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
