450kg of 20mm gravel worked out exactly as calculated to give 100mm depth :-)

Nice water feature.
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Thanks, it was better than we thought, a good size too, many are very small and big ones hard to find, base area will look better with planting round it.
