Spot on that is mate! What's the actual shape thing made out of?

 

[The D]

The pod is made out of kingspan I shaped it with a rasp then covered it in adhesive. I started it last summer and got to the point where it was half tiled then got sidetracked and it sat in the shed where the kids poked holes in it and pulled tiles of it . My daughter has gone away for 10 days so the mannequin has been shelved until she gets back so had time to repair the damage an finish it off.

Maybe a little quirky but...I like it.

Very nice dean, is it a garden seat ? just showed my mr's and she was very impressed, maybe you should go into Bisazza garden furniture !, the possibilities are endless with foam shaping and mosaics ,i found -out after fitting steam-rooms foam and shapes, thanks for sharing that!, the mosaic colour is very nice did you use the fill-gel ?

fill-gel ???

 

[jonnyc]

what are those benches in your photos of spa made of . is it a similar material to kingspan but can you tile straight on to them?

That looks great Deano, remember this - If you find a job that you enjoy doing, you'll never have to work again. Looks like you're there Mr.

Love it I do and so does the Mrs. Might try and attempt something similar for the garden if I ever get time. Might need a couple of tips though when I come to it!

What do you rate you'd charge for one of these mate if all else fails?

It is hard to price it m8 it has probably taken 3 days to do the tiling but I spent a long time shaping it last summer. The price of the tiles will all depend on the particular blend. You can have anything from £2.99 per sheet to £250.00 per sheet.
