New Decks

We had a very fine bank holiday weekend, just the way Easter should have been.
The great weather has provided the opportunity to finally finish the planned decks. We opted for wide un-grooved redwood we bought from the timber decking company.



This bit of deck which will house our deckchairs is located behind the garage. A deciduous honeysuckle is already climbing on the garage wall. On the other side a climbing rose will climb around the front pole and onto the pergola.



We may not notice from the pictures but the top of the deck is devoid of any screw, thanks to a nice little device called a deck board tie.




The deck at the back of the house is covered by a pergola which in turn be covered in acrilyc as soon as we can spare the time for a trip to B&Q.
Nothing like sitting outside in the rain reading a book....
