The best thing I've builtWehttamman asks: My dad and I once built a go-kart from chipboard, pram wheels and an engine from a lawn mower. It didn't work... so tell us about your favourite things you've made, and whether they were a triumph or complete failure.

Already pressure-treated(being fence posts cut down) but yes. They are now stained a lovely deep black/brown, and have been in place for three years without a problem.

it's that box-sectioned polycarbonate you can get for greenhouses/conservatory roofsCheap, structural and has a nice crisp edge.
It's screwed down to the wood below with little rubber o-rings around the screws to stop water getting through. Works rather well.
I'd intended to put another piece of wood across to support it, but it doesn't seem to need it.
