My DIY decking

Progress has been slow with the garden tidy up due to bad weather, and cats and dogs needing my attention. This is the bit that needs sorting out. Up against the side of the garage I had a range of home made plastic covered structures which I used for sheltering plants from the wind and rain. I don't need them any more because I am not growing as much now. The garage itself is rather dilapidated and really needs taking down and replacing, but I haven't got the money or the inclination to make major changes, so it stays. It's full of all kinds of stuff I have collected which may come in usefull for the garden, mainly timber, and plastic crates, and other bits and bobs which you might find in a garden shed. 

All has been cleared away, wood which might be usefull has been stored behind the garage, and the rubbish is ready to be taken to the tip. The first job was to paint the side of the garage in this lovely yellow. I had half a tin left over from painting the living room 15 years ago. I knew it would come in usefull for something. Then I laid three pallets on the ground, putting timbers under the front of them to level them off.

Next I covered the whole lot with wood I scrounged for free from B & Q while I was working there. It's been stored in the garage for about five years. Some of it is dismantled pallets, other pieces have been returned due to slight imperfections. Nothing is perfect in my garden, ha ha. Everything in it is home made or given.

So there we have my home made decking. I just need to put the finishing touches to it. I want some fairy lights so I can sit out at night. All we need is some nice weather now.
