Hi Rob

Sadly, we didn't get the covers on before the bad weather came back with a vengeance - we had the cotton lining on, but had to take that off as there was going to be no time to do the felt & canvas. All the covers are dry and safe indoors now.

But I have a feeling the council garden centre will be shut over the holiday period (which is a shame, as I think we could get together and do it then).

So my quick question is: will the wood frame be OK in the cold and wet for another two weeks or so?  (I'd hate to have to take it down - but will just have to, if it is going to get damaged)

Thanks
Rex

Dear Rex...just to stress this again the frame MUST NOT get wet.
The wood is not designed to get wet this is the very last thing that you must allow.
It's vital it is taken down, dried with a towel and left in an airy place to complete drying. If not there is no end of possible problems for you.
Do it tonight please!!!

Thanks Rob
I'm on the case. Too late and dark for tonight (and no rain or snow forecast).
But we're there tomorrow, and can probably get it down then.
