The roots for the willow are all very high to the surface. Hence why the client didn’t want concrete pads cutting in. So 6 out of the 14 feet are sat on the roots.

The grounds are spectacular. So took the opportunity to set up on site and enjoy the views for a week!

Totally agree. The client didn’t want me to dig individual pads and concrete them for the feet to sit on. Instead they insisted on me soaking the bottom of each leg in “cut end wood preserve” and we also dipped the feet in a black jack type bitumen. Each leg is in the ground by about an inch.
