[Trench]

I had some left over peat moss and coconut fiber and silicon,
So I got some hose, covered it in silicon and then stuck peat moss and coconut fiber over it and got this -

Yet another great use for the neighbours garden hose! Top work.

Thanks
mad4400, If the neighbours claim the garden hose back after you have converted it, be sure to take pics of them watering the garden with a vine

I just posted a thread on this yesterday on the vivarium forums. I have some black piping and was planning on using silicon and peatmoss/coconut on it and was curious if others had done this.

Did the silicon stick well to the hose?

 

[Trench]

Yes it stuck realy well
Which vivarium forum is this?
can you please post a link to it

Not bad a much better result than when I tried this in January. I have been meaning to get back to the drawing board on this one I just haven't had the time.

Looks great , i might give that a go in my enclosure im building , have you tried feeding wire through the hose so you can bend it into shape ?

cheers nico

When I got home and went to use my hose, it had a split and I had to cut off about 1.5m.
It must be a sign.

yes, sorry, forgot to say the at the start,
it bends into shape pretty well

 

[nicmorris]

if you were to place a rigid peice of wire through the length oyu could make it into shapes too couldnt you?

 

[nico77]

I am going to try it with bigger hose ( the clear stuff ) and fill it with expandy foam so it stays in the shape i want and has more strenth for my 8 ft jungle to climb on , ill put a pic up when i get around to it .

cheers nico

Thanks for the thread trench. gave hubby the idea to try it himself and worked a treat! he got two pieces of rubber tubing, twisted them around each other, then coated it in a mix of brown oxide and silastic. has such a great feel and looks great! Although in saying that the first pic looks like a dog turd lol
