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?

Hi there Had already had a look at your products and found them most interesting and will flag them up to my BSc degree students in their Organic and Sustainable Garden Design unit. Have used similar ideas in conjunction with an architect - specialist in new technologies, where we put a complex heat exchange system under an 800 metres square formal lawn to provide underfloor heating in the house.
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.
