Thanks for the link to Rivelin. I've got concrete post fences and so far have just been screwing eye hooks into the fence panel. These are a great discovery. I think what frustrates me most about my local garden centres is that even though they are all different companies, some of them even independents, the choice of product is exactly the same. I have started using mail order more. I completely agree about pots for house plants, it's the only reason I go to Ikea. Garden furniture is my bug bear at the moment. We have been in our garden for 4 years and are still yet to purchase anything to sit on. Trying to find something we can leave out over winter, that has been environmentally sourced and doesn't require another mortgage has proved difficult.
