Hi Dominic

Love the 'spaceframe' concept! My father had his own company in the modular building/steel fabrication industries and advises me on my design work. I consequently include a lot of galvanised steel, stainless steel and powder coated aluminium in my schemes. I have included my own 'spaceframe' in a couple of gardens aleady in the form of galvanised angle frames with timber decking inserts. I personaly think that this could be the future of hard landscape construction as this way of working is not affected greatly by the weather/seasons, has enforcable quality control etc. etc. great stuctural strength etc. etc.

Kind Regards

David

P.s. In your opinion, do you think that a BS standard 900x600x50mm flag has enough inherant strength to span between steel, have a 'void' undeneath and take the weight/force of adults standing on it or impact of something reasonably heavy being dropped on it?

Thanks for your kind interest in my sun compass. Yes, I think that we should swap links. I'll ask my web designer to work on a links page and get back to you when ready.

I see you went to Writtle College - when did you study there? How do you rate the course as I am interviewing someone next week who is in their 3rd year of landscape and garden design.
