Heya , just been to "Wilkinsons" store , any garden type store will do and bought some half trays for seedlings etc , not the thin tear apart type but the nice plastic ones . I paid I believe 49p each for black , green ones were 39p . The size for these are 22cm x 16cm x 5cm high .
Was I thinking .
a) Oooh , I wonder what seeds I can find for these ?
or
b)Man that looks like it would be a great snake hide out .
If your answer was a) , then please look on the gardeners world site .
if b), read on :)
Okay first image is all the equipment .
I used a white pencil
Hacksaw
Stanley knife
File
Second pic is doorway marked out for snakey , I used a white gel pen here to make it show more .
Then proceeded to hacksaw , depending on the size you probably wont even have to use a stanley knife . Finished item with door area filed nice and smooth .
Please do not use the stanley knife if you are not that confident , a hacksaw will do just fine , any young uns wish to try this , please get parents permission , or better still , get your parents to do it , it's like a 30 second job .
These caves at this size cost somewhere in the region of £10 , I'm sure you will agree 49p is nothing .
Thanks for reading and go buy some cheap hides . |
