Job done! A week ago we started preparing the ground for the decking at our daughters and her partner. We had to come down below the damp proof course and anchored the structure by bolting cross supports to the house wall. The deck supports hung of these and being careful to make sure the measurements matched up to the decking board dimensions we went to B&Q who seem to offer the best deal at the moment. Having searched the net this came in at around £5 for a 2.4m length but B&Q had them at £2.98. When we arrived at 7am Saturday, they'd put a couple of pallets full near the door at a special offer price of £2.28 - so a surprise saving especially when you need 57 lengths. One the frame's built, securing the decking is quick and easy. We staggered the joins so that we didn't have straight lines of joins running across it and by tea-time Saturday we were able to sit on it and enjoy the evening sun whilst little Grace made full use of her new play area!
