Thank You for your comments, Yes I have been doing Bonsai for many years but still learning as I go along.
Great backyard! Love your trees and the setup!

I probably have the least classiest, but I have 4 benches (two inside, two out), filled, and plants on the ground (mostly stuff I collected in January). The frame becomes a greenhouse during the winter.

I always wanted to ask you if that frame was a greenhouse Seth, smart idea.

Ya I run an extension cord from my house to the plants and hook up electric heaters. The average temperature sustains above freezing and that's all that matters. No morning frost gets inside during winter.

Solid hardwood. They are Bakirai decking planks treated with Teak Oil.

I think they cost about €250/$350 each. I bought all the wood new, stainless steel bolts, stainless steel screws - so it could definitely be done cheaper.
