This post has been a long time coming, mostly because we are still waiting for Pete to build the steps from the deck to the garden, and fix the metal trellis to the top of the screen on the one side of the deck.  But we are already enjoying the deck, so I thought I’d share some pictures.

The deck is made of hardwood that we ordered from a company called Eco Choice, who provide FSC certified hardwood decking that has been thermically modified (a chemical free, environmentally friendly process) to improve its durability.

Above you can see Piper having her lunch on the deck.  And to the right is the screen with the trellis waiting patiently to be installed.  I am planning to put a grapevine in a large pot and train it up the trellis as soon as the weather permits next year.
