Re: bonsai garden
Looks like some nice trees there John. What are your posts made from, do they all have turntables under them? Thanks for showing your trees John.

I really like the cascade/scoop on the left there.

Re: bonsai garden
Fantastic looking display John!
What turntable mechanism do you use and how do they hold up in the weather?
Also, can you recall what the name of the red colour is? I tried to paint mine that colour but I missed and ended up with a horrible reddish/brown
Thanks in advance,
Steven

Re: bonsai garden
Hi All,
The poles i use are A4 treated pine sleepers size approx 200W x 75 to 100 thick, all i do is dig a hole 500 to 600 deep back fill and pack in soil hard, on the top i screw exterior rated ply 25mm thick x 300sq then screw on a lazy susan (sold in Bunnings)on top of this i place a 400x400 concreate paving block that your bonsai sites on.
The paint is Dulux standard red.
I have also used large lime stone blocks and place the lazy susan on them works well (see pics attached)
