The boys set to work removing the deck boards and sleeper edging that were rotting. They took care whilst they were removing the boards, so that the new ones could be attached smoothly. They also dug out a fair amount of soil, to make the level a better depth under the decking.
Each new deck board was cut to size so that it fit perfectly.
The timber steps leading from the garden up to the decking were completely replaced. They are now structurally sound and fit for purpose.
It was good seeing the decking looking in better shape. It is now no longer dangerous, and can be used this summer for drinks in the garden.
