In October/November 2005 Top Deck Decking Ltd, travelled to France to build a deck in the French Alps. The venture was not without incident - but the scenery, food, accommodation, the people and of course the wine of France - made up for everything!! Decking in France was not too much of a logistics problem - thanks to our friends at www.mountainviewspas.comThe Timber Decking project was carried out by Top Deck Chief David Hughes and from leaving Folkestone for France to the return trip took two weeks - including mishaps aplenty - including brake failure on the 4x4 - just before the winding roads of the Alps in France! Timber for the project was sourced locally in France, and smooth sided decking boards were decided upon

The Chalet complex looked absolutely fantastic at Val d'Isere,
and it didn't take DH too long to get settled in - after the right door security
code had been found! The first day involved moving a few tonnes of decking to a
place where it was not in the way. (It had been delivered and dropped on the
site where the deck was to be built! |
Needless to say - as with anywhere in the Alps region of France, the views were stunning...
but work had to commence!
End of Day 3 saw much of the decking sub frame for the raised section of deck around the spa, installed and decking actually started.
