That’s really smart. What’s is the roof built up of? I’m guessing there is a membrane under and over the timbers followed by some soil and then grass.

Nice. That is a thing of beauty! Any photos during construction?

I'd love to build a little hideaway like that sometime.

Thanks.I used marine ply for the internal ceiling/roof then there is a void of about 60mm ,then the logs , an old wire fence nailed to the logs to spread the weight of the soil, 3 layers of cheap black plastic DPC stuff over the wire fence,then slate batons to act like steps that stop the soil sliding off, then a weed proof membrane stapled to batons as I thought this would hold the soil better than the smooth DPC plastic sheets...then soil and turf. I was worried about putting too much soil on because or the weight ,its prob only about 3 inches of soil in most places but the turf has been there since May this year and its lasted the dry hot summer just fine...also due to shallow soil the grass does not grow, i strimmed the long seed bits off the grass a few weeks ago but the grass has never been cut.
