Nothing but water and pavers on the other side Probably a little close for comfort until it hits 6 feet, but plenty of head room after that. 21 minutes ago, Laaz said: Yeah, they are fine.

Good idea. It would serve both as a secure border and keep the country warmer in winter. Worth it, imo. So, build away, i say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
