We get the wood on Friday so hopefully the build can get a bit further over the weekend. Plans and cutting list.... Lots of wood lots of fixings, a big jigsaw! :D Piers

Not only was the old deck falling apart but it also made the garden quite oppressive by is height and dark colour. We discussed at length levels and whilst steps arent as nice as walking straight out in this instance lowering the deck height would make it more part of the garden. So a bit of a...

Ok can still remember how to do pics! So the old deck was in a shocking state and the garden needs making sense of.

Just starting another one, this time for a neighbour. The old deck was a deck of death made by the previous owner from packing creates...3 years old and rotten as you like. [/url]

Railings in.
