If that has worked then I should have the progress of my little patio for you all to see.

wow that is great i love how you cut the slabs too

 

Brilliant job, looks great.

 

Thanks, I got the slabs from a reclamation yard. You could pick things up very cheap at one time but these places have raised their prices as more people DIY these days. They are quite thick and I quite like the colour as I want brightly coloured flowers and terracota pots to go there. There is room for a table and chairs too so my wife sits out there often. When it's sunny that is !
I plan to put a simple pergola over it. As the patio is a diamoned shape facing the house the pergola will be a square, hope that makes sense ? The posts will be half way along the sides and not in the corners ! Then a couple of climbers for the posts but not so vigorous that they grow over the pergola and cut out the sun/light.

Superb Gaz. Different too and I like your way of thinking with the plans

Actually, maybe you should ask to get this thread moved as mabye not everyone will look in the section. Too good to be missed.

 

Very Pretty
