Today we had the canvas man come to measure up the canopy for the wagon. We have decided against the traditional canvas and have gone with his recommendation of pvc. It's stronger, doesn't go mouldy (which would be a real problem here!) and is more fire retardant( funnily enough) if a wayward spark from a bonfire should land on it! It will have a zip both ends so it can be opened up straight through and should be ready in about two weeks! The swatches available came in a fairly ghastly range of colours!
We settled for a sort of olive green. We need it to blend into the scenery and not stand out too much against the trees etc. So purple and pink were out of the question!!!!
We also put the order in for the tin on the second wagon! This one needs to be rolled to fit the curve of the roof. We had to supply a template for the roof rolling people to work with.
With all the necessary instructions!
And little pictures!!!
This should also be ready in about two weeks!
We also took advantage of the glorious Autumn sun and finished oiling the deck. l did the other half last week so today we pushed all the furniture back over the other side and Geof did the rest ready for Winter.
And congratulations to Pushka who in this photo looks like she has just graduated with Honours for Rat Catching!
Well done that cat!!!
