Defoecat---Well All the problem with the Arbour is she may be right. I am not sure it will really look like I want it to down in that area. But I am still thinking about it.

Sarv----- The truth about rustoleum is it is of limited value. I was intending on using 1in square hollow steel rods. You cannot paint the inside of those things but hot dipping goes right inside them. That place up there does a real heavy coat. I understand why they stopped. Ther is so much going on around here they do not have time for such small jobs. Another thing is that the more I think about it a 6 ft wide arbour should be pretty massive to look right. I think a metal one would look to spindley. Who knows what will happen. I decide to do it I cannot be stopped.

Here is a picture of our lighthouse. It is between 7 and 8 ft high depending on what side you standing on. It is made of pine but is totally overcoated with fiber glass. and fibglass mat. I put vents in it to make sure it does not rot out from within. 2 on the bottom and 2 on the top gives it postive circulation. Has a light sensor in it and turns on at dusk and off a dawn when we have it plugged in.
