Post by wal »

It's made out of treated structural pine, and galvanized screws
Almost got the sides finished

Even threw a sicky to get it done... now thats dedication :lol:

Yer im going to attach bits of structural pine (off cuts) under the boards every 50cm to stop sag... also once they are screwed down they should act as bracing plus that will also help sag

I will be done soon enough so we can see :fc:

Hmmm
