A couple of weeks ago we had another Stanthorpe Permaculture Group gathering at our place. The activity was to build a multifunctional, mobile hoop that could be used as a chicken run (ideally docking to house at night), protection for veggies from birds and animals, covered with shadecloth for Summer growing or plastic for Winter growing, and so on. Polypipe hoops screwed onto cypress pine wood:

Boiling FIRST, although kettle had to lifted to allow air flow (easily fixed with a holey ring underneath):
The winning stove was used to cook some of the lunch later by Evita:
