A simple,
"floating"
deck, set at 45
degrees to the
house, constructed
using planed,
chamfered 100 x 32
mm pressure-treated
softwood on a
framework of 150 x
50 mm pressure-treated
softwood.
The
deck, though small
(in keeping with the
overall proportions
of the garden), is
ample for
a small table and
four chairs and was
put to immediate use
for breakfasting and
sunbathing!
Just
as every tool seems
to have an secondary
use that the
manufacturer never
intended, the same
applies to garden
features. Having
provided no less
than three seating
or lying areas - the
deck, the patio and
the lawn - some
people still find it more
fun to sit on the
narrow walkway. But why not!
