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.

Brad Great...tooo good for the kids...kids these days are to pampered for their own good!! :D I also like the fact that you didnt junk the old cupboard. It looked perfectly well made and keeping it saved time and materials. Where do you get your veenered board from and how much did it cost a...

Glued and pocketholed butt joint I did think about a half lap joint...decided against it as a butt joint will allow easier repairs (hopefully never needed) and was quicker!

Outdoor tumble drying?? I thought that was why we put a washing line hole in the lower deck Nice bit of ard wood for the hand rail...most importantly wide enough to lean on and place a beer!!

Railings in.

Glad to help 9 fingers. I have got to admit im really impressed with what these machines can do. So what are you having done? Piers
