Decking, or how to make a tiered garden bigger!

Shot from upstairs





Hopefully this shot shows the lower garden under the lengths of 7x2, using 7x2 allowed us to cantilever the overhanging section, although there will be supports beneath. Also note the ground cover to stop weed growth. It was important to get these in and start levelling up the three separate levels although we will allow a fall away from the house to carry the rain water down the decking so it wont hang and discolour.







After the first set of beams were laid and secure we set up the joists screwing everything in sight.













This view clearly shows the overhang 1.2 metres of gained ground

Finished all bar the handrail.
