luckily the power cables for the top floor run in the loft so easy enough to splice into one to run a single socket for my network storage

I will check how many lights I have think its upto 4, definately 2 though. They are just sat round in their boxes so you can have em for nothing.
I originally got my lights from screwfix, but they dont seem to do the 42mm now only the smaller ones. Despite what the pictures from the links look like, they actually sit nicely in the decking.
I didnt bother with spikes for my base, I literally just concreted posts into the ground, and then attached the framework to it, and then placed the deckboards ontop. Seems secure enough, Ive had loads of people on it and there is no movement at all.
When you put your frame up, dont forget that you dont want it level otherwise standing water will be a problem (I know you probably know that but its surprising how many people level it off perfectly )

ive heard mixed reviews on the sprayers. i heard they go everywhere and i wouldnt like that, have you screwed or nailed yours down jay? im going to screw it an aslo put some screw caps over them so i can get them back up if need be, also im going to have a few squares in it cut out so i can put flower beds in, then you fill them back up with stones and they look really nice, one of the lads in the DIY section has done it

I screwed mine down, always the best way imo just in case you need to lift any boards. I didnt bother with screw caps, I just used quality brown decking screws (cant remember where I got them from) Avoid B & Q deck screws, they are ****e.

The sprayer is okay if you take your time with it, its a lot quicker than brushing it.
