Enclose bottom section in box form work with reo in the "triangular" voids and fill with concrete..you will have a nice square unit upon which you can add small shelves for pot plants...this will make the bottom acceptable...if you are serious in addition tie reo around the top section and get a mold that will fit the reo plus half an inch of concrete beyond it, as a minimum, an inch better still make the concrete a low sand to cement ratio and dry over at least a week to ensure strength...add carbon fibre/ resin overlay to a depth of 3 mm. Personally I would remove all the current unit and saw it up in different lengths so as to make a small sculpture for the garden which ideally should include a pond and a fountain..then rebuild the flexing unit using reo welded in cylindrical fashion with at least three individual cylinders each joined of course then add concrete with a decent amount of blue metal.layer the outter surface with carbon fibre to a thickness of 5 mm..this structure should resist determined blows with a small sledge hammer...better still fill that room below entirely with concrete..that should do it.
