| A raised timber deck adjacent to - and overlooking the
garden pond! The decking is fully at home in the woodland environment, and
will blend in once the decking timbers have toned down. Deck timbers can
change colour within a few days during the summer months. A step by step
sequence of images to show how to build raised decks such as this.

Day 1 14th February 2005
Sees deliveries to site. The deck abuts a Summer House and
will measure 5 x 4 metres with staircase access to and from down to garden.

The basic outer frame for the sub-deck is positioned, and main bearers set and
concreted into ground. At it's highest point, the deck will be raised by
approximately 1.1m.

Day 2 15th Feb 200
Sub-deck finished, Newel posts for balustrade fixed and
concreted, fair bit of decking done - and the sun shone! A beautiful day for
decking in East Sussex.


Day 3 Feb 16th 2005

Day 4 17th Feb 2005

Day 5 Feb 18th 2005
