  All finished at cuxton the large decking complete with handrails, and stairs.
Customer is pleased with the outcome, there was a rough looking patio and a slope before we did the work, at least now they have an area in which the grandchildren can play safely.
The stairs are reinforced with supports on each tread, so its made to take the task of children running up and down them.
 This type of deck handrail is a double fixed rail. There are two rails one on top of each other, making a very strong rail indeed.
Hope you like.
See you all soon!! |

All done at Chatham onto Cuxton to create a timber deck. This one is off the ground a bit so a handrail is needed. Stairs with a platform is also required.
 The finished scheme, a small amount of decking, some paving using York Riven Slabs, a new fence and the grass is artificial. Great look 24/7. The astro turf just a brush from time to time.
See you all soon!! |

Going to see a job in Sheerness today, might take a bucket and spade, not for the beach but to dig my out in case it rains.
This is another bespoke scheme and from what I have seen so far is a very interesting one. Lots of ideas to fit in.
Budgeting of course is important so that your dream garden can be built. In some cases its always a good idea to set aside an amount of money.
See you all soon !!! |

Decking lights are an attractive way of making the whole structure that bit more outstanding. They not only allow you to use the deck into the night, they also let you know where the edge is for instance, especially if you have full steps.
One warning though it is best to have installed at the same time as the deck is being built. If the lighting are the flush mounted sort then this is important to do as its being constructed. The standing ones are not so important.
I stress the flush ones because these are the most popular,imaging taking up the deck boards and then installing the lights, then relaying the deck boards, although this can be done, its a costly way of installing the lights.
So, take it from us have them done at the same time, its cheaper.
See you all soon!! |

Sunday Evening for me always the quietest time of the week. Sitting here writing down what to take to Shorne in the morning, a van load I think. Twenty items all together to take, need a lorry not a van, should get it all in. A bespoke pattern for a paving scheme needs many tools to get it done. This going to look great when its finished. The weather has just been shown on TV and its going to be warm, about time I here you all say, great news all round. Been to see a job in chatham, this one is for paving , the base is already done so should be easy to do, Indian Sandstone to be used. Nearly done the price of yesterdays scheme. See you all soon!! |

Sunday the best day of the week, and the sun is out what joy. Dinner is on the go courtesy of Joanne my other and better half and have done one quote two more to do. Starting a Bespoke deck tomorrow. We use local suppliers when ever possible, makes the materials easier to obtain and send back if not correct. We only use good quality. But on the occasions there are bad products we simply return them to the supplier, this is why we use local places. We use Torx screws for decking we find these attach the deck boards really firm and are easy to screw into place with the cordless, no slipping out of the screw heads and damaging the boards. We do not use nails at all, not even on our close boarded fencing, we use screws to attach the feathered edge boards onto the rails. Nails will become loose over time. Glad you all approve as we get a number of recommendations throughout the year. Our Driveways are firm as well, we lay the blocks onto a cement screed instead of just sand, we fouynd that drives that were done years ago are still firm and have not sunk, like some laid on sand could do. See you all soon!! |

Its Friday and finished the job at Hempstead after a week of rain and wind, against some odds we had built the deck and built the brick wall, all thanks to the gazebo. Without it we would still be there on Monday. Starting a new Bespoke Deck on monday in Iwade near Sittingbourne. Its got three levels, all at ground level because the garden slopes upwards, so no handrails on the customers drawing, also decking lights to finish the job. Had the materials delivered today, so all ready to start. We quality control the decking as its delivered, so we had send 14 pieces back as they were not up to quality. Watch out for pictures of this one when its done. See you all soon!! |

A lovely day, the roof has been fitted to the pergola, as per the customers drawing, who has emailed me and is said to be very pleased with it. The design is the clients and we have done it to the letter. Looks great!! The whole scheme is a timber deck with handrails, with some shape to the front, a pergola with the Twin wall roof opal shade, a paving area complete with a path leading from the deck, and then slate chippings either side of the path, and to finish a new gate. Watch out for pictures on the site soon. See you all soon!! |

Getting some work done at last, the weather has been bad has'nt it? Putting the roof on the pergola on monday, looks like it might a good day, normally pergolas do not have roofs, unless you are building a Gazebo of course, but this was a bespoke job and its what the customer wants. So its a structure with several angles, 4m long x 3.3m wide, 125mm x 50mm timbers as beams ready to take twin wall plastic sheeting. Beading and roof trims are to be used. Bespoke shape, and height, looks good!!. |
