Matt, we did have to build it inside, but it is all screwed together, so we could move it!!!!
The rock wall was built by a friend. It is just the polystierene(spelling??) But it is then coated with a sand and cement mix, and then it has about 6 coats of a sealer, and each coat took about an hour!!!!!
Also, it is reinforced with steel rods, 2-3 for each shelf. So the wall is quite heavy, and took 4 fellows to carry it inside!!!
All worth it, when you see such a happy Lacie!!!!!

Bredli, the sealer was a clear paving sealer.
You can buy a great pond sealer, but you cannot get a large can, only one litres.
The sealer worked a treat!!!!
And aggree with you crazy snake, we find it all well worth the money, time and effort!!!!!!
