This is the most perfect place in my garden! It's sunny all day, and yet hidden from strangers! Also it was dificult to watter them when they were on the roof of my little cotage, now they are easily accesible.

All I've got to do is to finish the "fence" arround the cactusarium with 1-2 more wires...

What do you think?

Looks like a good spot for them for sure. What is the fence for? Where you planning on covering them like a greenhouse?

the fence is for preventing possible strangers (childern) to get in.

I don't plan to cover them, on winter they'll be in my flat again. I doubt they could survive cold winter outside.

Eustace, it's a cool little collection you have... I wouldn't fence 'em too close though, ...'cause you'll have to change it when you buy more!!

I've made protection from hail for my cactusarium!

This is in sunny day:

And this is on stormy weather:

It can be covered in a few seconds!

It won't be long now and the back yard will be transformed into a greenhouse!

Hopefully your cover will protect your cacti. A few months back we had a storm that produced hail the size of golfballs, it put the hurt to my cylindropuntia's

. But they will bounce back.

I hope it won't be hail storm at all!

the old cactusarium became to small. so i've built 5x bigger! and it's better protected from intruders (pepole, or animals). Here:
