Well I know I wouldnt have actually gotten anywhere near that and Lila would have killed me if I had lol, nice to know its original though.

KC- Your absolutely right, you really do have to have it in your hands to know the difference. I saw some of the repos and they look almost identical with a few minor differences, but the old ones are ALOT heavier and thicker, I learned something new  :) Thanks for the help everybody, always appreciated

just wanted to show ya what I ended up doin with the iron, turned out pretty nice I think and itl look great once the vines grow  :D Didnt have to weld it, just had to make some pieces ( and use a bit of good old fashion twine )to hold everything together. This way if we see someplace we'd like it better were not committed to the configuration, and its still very sturdy. Lila's thrilled
