Great idea, and it would still allow lots of light to the plants.

And airflow! I know I liked the idea, don't have a large sheet of plexi, but I was thinking just make a frame using plexi and those little pieces of wood...my brain just went blank...you know the little slat type pieces of wood? Blinking

There's a great picture of how to make 'tables' for want of a better word using concrete blocks and paving slabs in my semp book, I'll post a pic this evening. They look v quick to build and as the weight of the paving slabs is enough to hold the whole thing in place, there's no ned to secure them. Which makes for quick and easy changes if you want more/less or a differently designed display.

Oh no,I hope no one keeled over last night from all that breath holding, Hilarious! I had to take Mum to the hospital to visit my Gran. She doesn't like driving at night at the best of times, but the weather was pretty wild last night, and I didn't want Nan not to get visitors when everyone else on the ward had them. I promise that it'll be on later today.

Thanks all, she had a serious stroke last weekend and has been very pooly. But Nanna has always been a determined bird, so hopefully she'll make some recovery.

Me too Kate, sending good thoughts your family's way! I tip my hat to you.
I love this idea of the cinder block tables! (using paving tiles in this way!) Hurray! I tip my hat to you.
