I need a load off flegs for my patio:rotfl: (what where you thinking )
If anyone knows off any non trip (compo style ) flegs let me know .
Broken flegs are no good as they generally have been used in a riot so have bit missing .;

Happy Christmas one and all :T

    Will you have to get permission to keep them out 365 days a year, or are you planning on only keeping them out on allocated days, for example, bank holidays when you might have a barbeque?

    well I was thinking about keeping them out 365 day a year .
    15 days wouldnt be much good .I was thinking about a traditional patio ,perhaps with a few traditional rooted plants around the border ,because borders are important.

  • It also depends on how far away you want to travel to get them, as this would dictate whether you could get simple 3 colour stripped flegs or the more crazy patterned flegs, again in 3 colours. All depends on how you want your patio to look, I suppose...

    Well I was thinking a white/grey patio and use the border for colour .The area to be fleged is small ,perhaps I could remove a border but that would be messy
    I suppose by Easter I could have a few lillies , daffodil's and a bit off greenery .
    Then by the summer I could have Red geranium and
    Blue ageratum , Something for all seasons.

    I'd be careful there, you might need a majority vote to remove your border and they're very difficult to arrange. You could always put a few information signs in along the border and I think that would work very well with your new flegs.

    Of course I was talking about the plant signs (what else would I be referring to?!), everybody always wants to know what plants there are...

  • Are these new Flegs or replacement Flegs. You'll need to block the traffic through the area you want to put the flegs in. If going for the three straight pattern coloured Flegs, I'd think the Border isn't required as suggested by Old Git. It will be required if going for the more complicated crosses pattern. However some would not agree the border is required. You could always ask the "stakeholders" (a favourite word of the folks at thag big Nursery on the hill) what they think. Just don't do them in Yellow. Not a particularly "in" colour at the moment
