It covers a massive area of 420cm x 420cm at a height in the center of 230cm, so great as a communal meeting/gathering place to sit under between shared campsites.
Unfortunately, some of the elastic/shock cords inside the poles to keep them together have snapped, so some poles are now loose, however, they are all there and the canopy which has a UPF rating of 50+ is still in good condition.
If you are interested call or text Mark on 027 573 1965.
You are also welcome to come and have a look first before you buy.

Janet and her husband both enjoy tending to their garden and shared this about their garden:
"We are both in our eighties and have lived in the Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village for three and a half years. Our passion for gardening spans many years. We change our display every six months to cover Spring and Summer.
The residents in the village regularly bring their visitors to see our display and take plenty of photographs. When you hear comments such as “It lifts my spirits when I get to this corner” you realise how much it means to everyone. We will continue to create a beautiful garden for as long as we are able."

From line trimming to shaping shrubs with my battery-powered tools. 🌱✨I've been trimming various plant species: Tecomaria capensis hedge leaving the orange flowers to bloom, shaping up Camellia japonica, and giving the Prunus serrulata a good trim. Everything’s looking fresh and tidy! 🌸✨

We spoke with his about his process to keep his lawn beautiful and there may be some blades of advice for your own backyard.
Mark has a huge backyard so during Covid times, he decided to renovate the lawn and garden just for something to do. It’s turned into a passion.
His lawn is 100% rye grass - sourced from Prebble Seeds Turf World who supply many golf courses around New Zealand. In the summer he mows it every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, and waters the lawn with a deep soak of about an hour at a time, 2-3 times a week. He uses a granular slow release lawn fertiliser and other liquid fertilisers also.
Mark shares:
'I would say the secret to getting a good lawn is consistent mowing - at least twice a week. Maybe buy a bulk bag of slow release lawn fertiliser from a wholesaler. Keep the grass longer and just take the very top off the blade when you mow. It promotes growth, thickens it up and will really help with stopping weeds - oh, and water. Expect a water bill if you want a good lawn.'
The first photo below shows the 'Before' shot, 4 years ago. Give Mark a Like on this post if you think his lawn is pretty top notch!
