having nearly built my new shed, i was going to cut out ready an opening for a sputnik, i believe they can be removed as an when required, the idea is is to use as its perpose intended and to remove it, in the winter and replace the opening with perspex , can any one tell me the size opening to cut, been on bobby and ridgewood site theres is 24" high but don't say how wide.
any help would be appreciated .

is it a sputnik your after o a trap for ets system

not joining club yet so ets is the last thing to worry aboat. just looking for some ideas on how to give the young some way of getting surroundings whilst still in the shed,

take a look on this site..... http://www.murrayandmills.co.uk/catalog/erol.html

was going to make one but decided to give it a miss,
done such a good job on the new shed did'nt want to spoil it, the misses wants it to look pleasing to the eye, hers or the neighbours, i dont know which

just been on that link david , think the measurements are 2' wide,

might take a chance on 2' x 2' square

chris, i just started making my own.......i bought some 12 mm ply and have built one so far and have another two to make yet, if i had to buy three sputniks it would have work out very expensive so the ply was only £12 a 8 x 6 sheet.

really quite simple to make,

chris your missus sounds like mine mate every thing in garden has to be perfect keep telling her she should have married a green keeper!im a gardener and the garden looks spot on but you know how women think nowts ever right.if we could buy a fanny in the chemists there would be a scrap yard full ov women

when i,ve finished the shed i,ve got to replace the koi pond i filled in for the space to put my shed.
she wants a 6' x 8' x 5' deep pond , going to raise it 2' out of the ground so i only have to dig 3'. mates looking after my koi at the moment, his pond is 12' x 10' x 6' deep so no rush plenty of room in his till i am ready.

chris and remember this wot SHEwants SHE GETS!!!!!!
