This is a practical problem because we would like a garden summerhouse but it has to fit into a specific space, a curved stone wall and therefore \"set in stone\".  I have drawn a diagram for myself which I think shows the width across the widest part of the figure is more than 1 m 65 cm but I do not know how to work out what will be the best use of the space. </SPAN>\n" );
