The ground outside my back door was a patchwork of old structures and concrete, with weeds growing out of the cracks. I'd had the idea to put a decking over it several years ago, but hadn't had the spare capital to sort it.
With the few weeks I've had off I decided to use some pennies I had put away and finally get it sorted and I thought I'd share some photos with you.
The black sheet marks the position of my barbecue design that I want to inset into the deck at some point.
Half done after the 1st day's afternoon. You can see where they have laid the course of bricks for the barbecue and built the decking frame around it.
The finished decking. They've boarded over the brick course so that I can unscrew those planks as-and-when I'm ready to install the barbie.
And some tables, chairs and pots added.
It's interesting how much more spacious it looks now that it's one clear surface rather than a mish-mash of other surfaces and ex-surfaces.
It will hopefully hold a few good parties this summer.

I should take more from gradually further away.
