They are finally here; I had my name on the list for a while and got impatient!
The setup looks good and fairly robust as they claimed.
The only question / comment I have was that a few users in the U.S. recommended not to put the pier in the exact middle as you can’t look straight up. For those who have done this (looks like you) I see that in the 'Sky Shed Pod' Yahoo forum they detail a retro-fitable slide rail that offsets the roof few hundred mm to allow zenith views. I see these are for sale now (called Zenith Tables) fresh on the website, check with Wayne.
Let us know how you find it. - I was looking at the Neutron Blue glow model.
