I'll bet they're the envy of the neighborhood. Lots of work went into that castrella.
Here's ours in Southern Ontario, Canada...

Wow John what a construction! My wife would add a crucifix outside with me attached to it if I did that to her back yard lol
Unfortunately I am not allowed to fortify the front yard. Since local building codes exempt "Play Structures" I don't need permits and can build what I want in the back as long as I keep it neat, safe and well drained.
Legio IX Hispana in Virginia is starting construction of a Castra similar to Lafe soon.
Great work, Jay. What's the dimension of the castra?
Good to hear, Evan. Keep folks updated. I'm sure it will be a success!
Yeah I have a bunch of images on my computer of other reconstructions I said I'd email them.
Edge from Legio XI is apparently construct a "Training Camp" where he intends to recreate different aspects of the Military, like Digging ditches, setting up a Palisade, etc. And experiment with what methods they used to do it.
We just have a bar. Lots more fun.
You know, that guy really does look like Jasper.

Not sure but it's on a huge property surrounded by farmer's fields and forested areas. Makes for some interesting patrols and ambushes!
