Either it disintegrated "naturally" or the birds had a go at it for some reason. I had a square one I wanted to use in the garden and the same thing happened.

Angus Clydesdale May 2020 2:17pm, 24 May 2020 18,217 posts	Quote Pin Angus Clydesdale Not quite, but I would say it’s a really good length of time nonetheless. Please note, our lifetime guarantee applies to pre-galvanised tubular steel components only (arches, stabilisers, bracings & ridge tubes). Even though all of our brackets and fittings are also fully galvanised, they are not protected with our ArmourGuard® coating and as such do not carry the same guarantee. Our polythene covers, and anti-hot spot tape have up to 7 years guarantee against UV degradation. All timber components are pressure treated with Tanalith E ™ and as such have a life expectancy of 15-20 years.
