Along with creating the framework, the boys have also been digging post holes, to construct a new fence around the garden. The garden looks out onto a park, which is a lovely view, but some privacy and security is required.

It’s been good having the additional space of the park to set up the chop saw, and to work in.

The weather has been good this week, with general temperatures of 15 degrees. Not bad for October. We’ve been making the most of it and cracking on with this project.

Once the Brimstone Ash deck boards started being laid down, the overall aspect of the garden design started to come alive. To read about the benefits and sustainability of locally produced and sourced Brimstone Ash please click here.

The timber process involves super heating English Ash to 210° degrees which stabilises the wood, makes it durable and turns it a beautiful dark chocolate brown. It looks and smells amazing.

There have been lots of tricky cuts to make on the deck boards to ensure that every piece is perfectly fitted. We can’t wait to see this project finished, it’s going to look so smart. Come back again to see the finished result.
