Steps are waayyy to wide in my opinion, unless you're going for the roman amphitheater look.

What plays will you be showing?

Paul11 · 24 May 2009 at 12:08

that is fantastic.

and having been doing a little work in our garden recently, i know how much effort went in to that..

great job, look forward to more pics.

If I had that much decking in my garden I would be out there every day playing pirates, getting my dog to swab em etc :x

Looks good, how long has it taken you???

Agree that you need to get some plants on those steps...is it over looked at all?

It's just crying out for a slinky race tbh.

Who needs grass! But seriously, where is the grass?

Are you turning your garden into a theatre?

Will grass grow from seeds over the winter months?

Eventually on the walk up to the deck, once we get the ground prepared - the deck takes up roughly one third of the total garden length - it was to make the previously unusable area a suntrap

Think about it - one large fence, a projection screen and one HD projector Plenty of throw distance, and plenty of seating.

Hmmmmmmmm, the possibilities.

Brilliant! :cool:

Do we all get invites?

What's a hypotenuse?

That looks quality mate, how much did the whole decking cost including rental of the digger?

Darg · 24 May 2009 at 13:27

Personally I would have probably had the steps down only occupy the middle third of the width of the garden and had steep sloping lawn or flowerbeds/nice low bushes either side. But I really like what you've done too. It'll be good to see it with all the flower pots around

Pity about losing the tree, granted it was blocking the sun but I always feel sad to see a good old tree go.

some unscrupulous field seems to have replaced your nice green grass with lots of nasty decking.

Yeh WAY too much decking , its not even a garden anymore

. Put more flowers in atleast , especially as and when you sell the house all that decking will put people off

Looking good mate, keep us updated

I can see your dilema in a slope like that.
From the pictures it seems like the steps are going away from your house, so you probably wont even be able to see any of the decking from the house?

Maybe in this situation i would have made natural steps in the slope with flat levels for planting and a paved stepway down to the bottom.

Funny enough i often have a dream where i have a garden with a long slope at the back of it, but its always covered in long reeds or something, i always remember thinking in the dream what i would do with the area. <--- odd ball.
