Hi Meagi , the design and concept is bloody brilliant . I could see 10-20 of these along my drive way to curb that bloody radiant heat , tack some casters on the bottom and you would be grinning like a goat in the garden come winter i could wheel them around the terraces .Mobile grow beds :cool: Thanks for posting this .

Cheers Alpine
