No, it wouldn't be a circle, but at least you could reuse the benches elsewhere, or place them in a different configuration. Plus, it's easy to find 4 benches alike.

I love seating areas all over the yard...but here every area where you want to relax needs a bug net! Well, except in very early May and after October 15th-ish! Alex and I even thought about screening in the area where our charcoal bbq is lol...that might be slightly dangerous, but the bugs make it so unpleasant to be outside these days!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-15504720702852091592017-06-15T10:52:55.435-05:002017-06-15T10:52:55.435-05:00I think I would be looking for someone local to bu...I think I would be looking for someone local to build it also.
