POST CEMENT = 50
ALL THE 2X4 FOR THE FRAME WORK TREATED = £100
BOARDS = FREE!
PAINT = £150
RAILS AND SPINDLES = £100
LIGHTS = £80
LABOUR = FREE

SO i done this project for about £500. Not bad seeing as the 3 qoutes i got averaged at 2K

Still - im now creating a very unique water feature in my garden and once finished will post up!

its not you standing in the middle peeing into a plant pot drunk as a skunk is it as i REALLY dont want to see that!

Hmm, where did you source the wood from? I was expecting more for that part of the job.

BTW, I'm not building decking, I'm building a bike workshop

Ill PM you how i got the wood!

the finished size was 3m x 8m. taking into account if i had to buy normal boards the cost would have been £10 psqm at 24 sqm = 240 smakers!
