Back garden fancier Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 My mate did a similar thing with empty crisp boxes from a pub, the ones with the hole in the front. He then burns them when they've been used once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckedhen Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I tried to use crisp boxes but I didn't feel they were very secure when stacked. These look just the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
