Got me wug doc oat his box last nite ter havva look. Quite well built but shud be fer the money. There be lots of screws so yer can take him apart. So he should be fixable if broke'd. Din't use him ter clean. Just checking he be ok. Made int china so he were probably late due to that b*at. The good fing is he folds to go back int his box int one piece. So storage be easy fer the future. There's a bracket for cable or pipe storage but yer dun't need ter fit that. Ain't tried fittin it yet as it be not needed.

Looks like argos were selling at 300sovs with a 50sov discount to 250. Now they is selling at 250sovs normal price. So they bagged some earlier buys when peeps seen the discount, like me. Ah dun't mind as argos was me favourite toy catalogue when ere werer nippa. Got me logo sets from argos when eye were little. The george be 250sovs anorl.

Are you sure that’s not a dog and a bit of hose holding down the decking! If fido moves the decking will spring up again I’m afraid. Unless you screwed the dog to the decking :eek:

Just shows how well hidden the screws are.:D:D:D
They are about 2 1/2" to 3" long, they go into pieces at right angles, the width of the "Au vent" (2m) at 50mm centres, which themselves are screwed into other pieces running the length of it all and they themselves are screwed to the concrete/brick support!
Twas quite a lot of work, but it raised the level until it was much easier to step out of the "French windows" or "porte fenetres " as they laughingly call them. So Wifey with her paralysed foot is less likely to trip or fall with a drink in her hand. Also all the decking has to be perfectly level with no protruding bits. Which of course is normal,
Just found one Wifey took of the last one about to go down, you'll see some of the really p!ssed ones in the back ground and pbvs I saved one of the straightest for the last, (still not straight!) as I couldn't use my special but bulky tool I had been using to un warp the boards that were warped, and hold them in place while screwing them down!

Lesson learned, NEVER buy decking, or any other wood, then keep it for any length of time before using it, even if you keep it dry! @kevstar already knows this of course!

As bought in Wickes or B & Q (Can't remember) 4 years at least previous, in the UK) No chance of sending any back!
My fault!
