    Mechano time!!!

    Thank you Richard and all other contributors to this post. Read it this morning and that's made my day start with a smile. Loved the engineering bit, and the gardening advice was just the icing on the cake.😂

    Storing floats for stalking?

    Storing floats for stalking?

    Tim, if you go into an art supply shop, like hobbycraft, they with have fold up wallets for storing artists brushes. Each brush (float) pushes into a compartment and then the whole thing either folds up or rolls up.

    Swingtips
