Hi Dave, I've built a few Pola and Piko structures already .They are easy to build and look good right out of the box . I did run out of the glue that was supplied with the kit and used regular model cement . It seems to have worked fine. My wife and I are going to start construction on our garden layout in the spring as soon as it warms up (we live in Chicago).I built bases for my buildings out of acrilic sheet @1\4 inch thick , and plan to leave these out in the garden all year round . However we will bring the buildings inside for the winter.As far as the bases they came out great . I laid out lines for a concrete slab look with a pencil and then used a dremmel tool with a cutoff disc and scribed the lines . After lite sanding I painted them a grey primer color and they look better than the bases you buy. I cut a hole under where the building will go so we can use low voltage lighting in the buildings. Sorry if I am getting away from the subject , but I just wanted everyone to know about these structure bases . We'll see how they hold up through the years .Anyway get a kit and build it ,they are fun and turn out great . Mike D. <br />
