Roundhouse building

[Tribaltree]

In two weeks time I will be down in devon hopefully starting to build a Roundhouse and will be looking for anyone with supplies of wood near the Okehampton area.

If anyone down that area can help me and my mates out for good local supplies it would be much appreciated.

A house that's round. A round house. What does it all mean?

What kind of wood you after? Out of interest more than anything.

What wood? May be able to help with some fone numbers.

would have to be something that can react well to the elements, so pine that we can treat is fine or any rough cut timber.

We aren't looking for exactness in this roundhouse but at the moment anything we can get our hands on would be good.

There's some excellent roundhouses at Castell Henllys (can't spell it right) in Pembrokeshire, in case you haven't seen them. They are reconstructed Iron-age ones, in situ.

Thanks mate I will look into that!

It's not going to be as exact as the one on that bbc site, mainly because we did that before and it took far to long as we only had the odd weekend to get things done. We have some different plans that should hopefully get it up and ready in the space of two weekends.
