Transformers pier in disguise

[spaceboy]

After recently deciding on a fixed pier in the garden it became "obvious" that the hammerite black pier was there. I had seen some thing in home bargains a while back that I thought might just do the job.

Very pretty and nicely camouflaged.

Eh!...where’s it gone?

The irony of it is it took me weeks to clear the corner of real ivy Kind of wish I had left a little to add to the effect but I'm sure it wont be long until it grows through from the neighbors garden again.

I think it will look even more odd when I finally get some money together to lay decking around it.

Did anyone ever make a pier with a quick-release system? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Some have steel piers attached to concrete via bolts. I guess they could be removed during the summer when observing is less practical and people spend more time in the garden.

I'm sure it could be done, with a little bit of engineering. Perhaps if the bottom of the pier had lugs which located into keyhole on a receiving plate? Then you would just have to sit the pier in place, give it a twist and locked.
