Our decking project is finally complete! In this video I’ll show you how we built our decking and give you some tips if you’re ever tackling a project like this. We opted for a softwood timber deck for reasons I’ll explain on a later video. If you haven’t watched part 1 yet, this deck measures around 7m wide by 3.4m deep, so about 24m2. A quick reminder for the trolls, I don’t make sponsored videos but I love winding you up.

Download the plans I made for this deck and nerd out on loads of extra detail over on the Member Zone:
