It has been a hard slog. The former for the pier is a section of conduit I think used for laying underground cables. The interior diameter is about 12". There is a plastic pipe suppliers near where my father lives, and he get offcuts that he usually uses to make containers for plants in the garden. At first I was not keen on the ribbed exterior, but I can put up with it. -------------------- Orion Optics UK 350mm Dob Celestron 8SE Bressier R-127L + minus violet filter(F=1200mm achromatic) ETX125
