Hi

I am after trying to do a similar scape to this:


The wood is very large ! cant seem to find anywhere on line that would seem to sell this size, any suggestions ?

Give Dave at Aquarium Gardens a call with rough dimensions that you are after and he’ll sort you out!

Have a chat, send him the picture and he’ll email a mock up of the scape if you are nice!

Quite a lot of garden centres stock large bogwood

Not sure you’d want to pay the mailing price after buying online - odd shape so BIG box needed to ship that, and it’s very heavy

You can also zip tie several pieces - easily hiding ties underneath epiphyte plants

Hi all,

You can also zip tie several pieces

I've done this. You can also use a <"wooden dowel"> (like IKEA furniture does) to lock the bits of wood together, the dowel will swell when wet.

Depending a bit on where you live you might be able to find some bits of <"pyo Oak">.

thanks guys, i like the ideal of perhaps building a piece with bits, i would not expect to get a big bit shipped ! i would collect if i found one.
