Here is a break down of how it progressed.
Tuesday 3rd Feb
We had already dug the holes for the posts which would hold the frame of the deck. We had to remove some excess soil so that the frame would be sitting off the ground.
Here the first bearer has been bolted to the house.
We then attached the joist hangers to the bearers.
Wednesday 4th Feb
Next we started to screw the perimiter beams to bearers.
We then dropped the joists into the joist hangers.
Thursday 5th Feb
Here is the frame finished with steel posts cemented into the ground.
Friday 6th Feb
We then started to lay the deck boards out ready to be screwed to the joists. This took a bit of working out so that we would not have too much waste.
We started to screw the boards down
We then couldn't do anything for a week due to work commitments.
Friday 13th Feb
We finished off srewing the deck boards down.
Just need to add a step down to the garden and some fascia around the front and sides. We also need to add 1.8m high privacy screens at the sides of the deck to comply with council regs.
