Looks really good guys.

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks, it was a lot of fun to build 👍🏻

[@lewishayes9228]

I've seen a number of your projects on Instagram. All excellent.
These episodes on the composite range are great. I have been hoping to use similar for a while but as yet... still timber. Keep up the great work

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks, there’s plenty more coming….. stay tuned 😁👍🏻

[@simonbowler1]

[@stevenjones1009]

Excellent work / video very well presented 👌

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks, I do my best 👍🏻

[@din51gle]

Great job. Please could you tell me who the manufacturer is for the decking? Thanks

[@simonbowler1]

Ecoscape 👍🏻

[@Simon_B]

Another great video Simon, very informative. The Ecoscape decking structure as you built it, would it be strong enough to put and fasten a aluminium pergola on top of it?

[@grahamallen1970]

Hi love your inspirational vids....question is 5cm over 3m sufficient fall for a raised deck?

[@simonbowler1]

Doesn’t sound out of the way, but check with the decking manufacturer 👍🏻

[@omega7311]

A proper job ,does you proud

[@michaeldavies4598]

Great video.
Ever tempted to use a breaker board inside of butting boards?

[@calcallabam5889]

Another superb video guys, if laying the deck in the summer would you still leave a 5mm gap or less?

[@simonbowler1]

Less in the summer because it will naturally be longer, but still leave a gap 👍🏻

[@calcallabam5889]

Good to know, thanks. Also In regards to the facia, is it hard against the first deck board you fitted or is the board sat back for a shadow gap? Sorry for all the questions, and great work again, thanks.

[@liamyates2]

👌🏼

[@simonbowler1]

😁👍🏻

[@homewurks1]

Wish I had seen this video last year before I laid my own composite decking. It has been placed onto the existing paved patio but I used tanalised timber. I really like the "picture frame" effect. I also have a timber deck that need replacing but the joists are just like those in the first video. Can I buy composite joists anywhere or must it be a specialist supplier?

[@simonbowler1]

There are a few suppliers that offer them. These are from Ecoscape, who also supplied the decking.

[@homewurks1]

Thank you!

[@TheBrassmonkey87]

👍👍👍

[@simonbowler1]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@wjm1676]

Hi Simon, how did you fix the both sides of picture frame as it looks like ends on edge of joist so no fixing point? Cheers

[@wjm1676]

Or is the starter clip on the outside enough to hold it in place?

[@simonbowler1]

Good question, there is a colour coded screw at an angle hiding in the tongue of the board 👍🏻

[@wjm1676]

[@gdr88]

did your older videos get deleted??

[@simonbowler1]

No, this is s new venture for us, there’s another one live tonight at 6.30 👍🏻

[@johnwildwest1]

That wasn't cheap 😮

[@simonbowler1]

No, but it’ll be there a while 👍🏻

[@jamesturnbull1894]

Out of interest.. What size was this and total cost?

[@Delirante907]

I'm going to report you to your supervisor. Sometimes you didn't used your ear protection.

JK 😂 Great job 👍
