Deck the marsh

I've finished the first half of the decking, the first of the two 3.6m x 3.6m sections is now covering the uggeeerly patio and more importantly the annoyingly high water-table fuelled swamp. This also means an ecologically friendly territory share, with the frogs having exclusive use of the sub deck marsh, while the humans enjoy some atop deck conviviality.

I'm hugely relieved it all worked as it involved quite a lot of problem solving as I went along as well as more than a little improvisation :-)

Anyway in a Blue Peter stylee I present the 'Before' ...............

and then of course, the 'After' ................

In a definite break from the norm I haven't creosoted the decking, I've used some new-fangled nonsense. In the background though you'll see a pallet that I rescued and re-cycled into a planting table, which is very much in the creosote club!
