What use for old ridge tiles?
Hi
We've just had our ridge tiles replaced and have a heap of old ones that are relatively intact. As I hate waste I wondered if I could use them in the garden. My initial thought was to build some sort of bug hotel but am open to all ideas.
I know you're a creative lot, so suggestions welcome

The thing about terracotta is it absorbs moisture which, in winter, causes freezing and flaking so best not used as border edging but could be used as part of an insect hotel for critters that like crevices.
I use 3 coats of satin finish on terracotta planters and that works well for me. No more than 3 tho or it goes milky.
I might just stack them in a corner somewhere till I get round to doing something with them, which will provide a home for some beasties at least.
