We have decided to update our back garden a little bit by adding a small lean-to, maybe build a few chairs from wood.
This is what it looked like a couple years ago.
But being the main walk way in the house and general gathing area (we don't use the front door) and the great weather we all enjoy here in the UK its gotten rather dirty and tatty looking.
The Idea.
I would have liked to go larger but due to restrictions for gas flues this well do.
So the work began...
Tools and screws..
The flower bed...
Because of the roof that was being added we decided to remove the planter and have a raised section of deck, most of the decking on the step up was reclaimed from other projects I did over the last couple years so it would match the lower deck.
removing the planter.
Sizing up the deck (built a temporary frame at back while waiting on getting new 2x4 wood).
New frame to take boards, centre section is removable, I intend to box the underneath in and use it for storage.
Ready for clean up and finishing.
The lean-to...
Bit of wood, best way to start!
Held in place with M6 thread rod and anchor bolts.
All joists measured, clamped and marked off for cutting
Frame all fixed together.
I'm using 10mm Triplewall polycarbonate sheets (2x 1250mm 1x 1045mm) and white upvc trim, the polycarbonate sheet weigh a total of 18 KG and blocks all uv
Still loads to do to it.
