    How did you know? You have cameras outside my house? If I pee on it some more do you think it will come back to life?

    Another very basic question; what do I use to stick the sleepers together and to the ground? Cement?

    some sort of "v"shaped corner brace/bracket for the inside and flat ones outside.

    can also use concrete for the base for sleepers.

    or drive steel rods into ground on inside and attatch to sleepers.

    attatch end of bed sleepers to wall using galvinised brackets on the inside

    Oldtree (or anyone else!), what do you think of Bay Laurel or Variegata for hedging?

    The main thing is what do you think of it as you will have to live with it. think of all your requirements for the hedge and list them in order of preference, and then it would be easier for you to decide what would be best for your garden.
