Interesting structures... in your garden?

I was wondering what man-made structures that fellow gardeners have in their garden.
The appended picture is of a reinforced concrete WWII air raid shelter that was supposed to protect the occupants of my house from the Blitz.
The sub-text is that during WWII, my house was owned and occupied by Sir Ian Wallace, who was a major figure in the ruling Ulster Unionist Party in Northern Ireland. He later became Chairman of the Party and Lord Mayor of Belfast, in the 1950s.
Inside the shelter, there is enough space for two or three people to sleep. However, it is sunken and below the water table, so it tends to fill with rain water. There is a, still mainly functioning hand-pump for removing the water...

(The detritus on the top is mainly my growing-on pots of this year's seedlings...)

Nothing historic but my hubby built me an iron gazebo that I am using for vines. It had been the base of an up above swimming pool.

Oh-h-h, how pretty that will be covered with vines!! Please post pix when it's 'dressed'!

Osteole, your pic is very pretty and the 'tripod' looks great and natural! I will surely copy it if you don't mind. I had a couple of such things made from construction steel and one of them was stolen just a couple of days ago. Saved the other by moving it in (not in use now). What I will do is protect the legs to prevent it from being attacked by termites. For slender ones, I use old toothpaste tubes as 'socks' and bury it in the ground.

Thought I saw something similar in The Blair Witch Project... LOL

Joann, are you expecting royalty??? that is a magnificent garden structure!! E.

Lenjo, what a gazebo! Your husband is talented!

Elaine, I actually wanted a wooden one with a roof but he saw the picture of one that was up at the Oregon Garden and he said he could do the iron one cheaper and quicker than the wood one, he bought his materials before the steel prices went crazy.So who am I to argue if he is willing to do this. LOL
The only reason it is that big is because of the cement ring base of the old pool. I would have been happier with smaller.

We don't have any ancillary buildings but we do have a fire pit. It came with the house and we never use it. It is under a tree and very close to the porch roof. I assume that the tree and the roof were not there when the fire pit was put in. It has a lid on it and have a couple flower pots set on top of it. Not very exciting, but you didn't ask for exciting structures. ;-)

I have an old two door (his/hers) outhouse that I use for storing my extra pots in. We call it "The Potty Shed". Someday we want to build a potting shed next to it and cover all of it with climbing roses.

This is my potting shelf. DH found the steel frame and originally used it for a garbage can and recycle bin rack. Then we got a Rubbermaid 1/2 shed.

He was going to throw away the steel frame. I told him no, I want a potting shelf. So I got new PT plywood for 2 shelves, painted them and bought some plastic trellis sheets and had him tye-wrap them together to the table and fence. I planted an Alamanda vine on each side of the table.

The pic was from 1 year ago, the vine is now on another growth spurt and is covering it up.

That seems to work pretty well Molly. I like the way you "covered it up" Blends in well!

Lenjo, I forgot to mention above how great that structure is.....going to make a beautiful addition.

I am just blessed to live out here on the farm where I can definitely spread out.
