The depth of each post hole dig will be 600mm. At this depth I install 200mm of concrete to each base of the post hole and compact the concrete prior to installing the 4x4 treated posts. If concrete is not installed at the post base the liability of the whole decking bouncing into the sub grade soil whilst 15 to 20 people party on the decked area are very high.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Composite deck supporting legs</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://perigordvacance.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345192c169e2019b02a28507970b-popup"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345192c169e2019b02a28507970b image-full img-responsive" title="Composite deck supporting legs" src="http://perigordvacance.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345192c169e2019b02a28507970b-800wi" alt="Composite deck supporting legs" border="0"/></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Each post is cut at 400mm allowing for the concrete base depth, each cut post loaded out next to each hole ready for installation. <span>I have bolted the double joist frame to the house , feature walling and kitchen block work with Fisher frame fixings 10x140mm, I have also used the 6.0x80mm self tapping Spax screw and 100mm and 150mm Timberdrive</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Decking post support</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://perigordvacance.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345192c169e2019b02a29686970b-popup"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345192c169e2019b02a29686970b image-full img-responsive" title="Decking post support" src="http://perigordvacance.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345192c169e2019b02a29686970b-800wi" alt="Decking post support" border="0"/></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">As you see above the finished height of the post is 10-15mm below the top level of the decking frame and concreted in place ensuring the concrete is compacted around the post.

Firstly the need to periodically replace weathered steps burdens the council with continual material and labour costs. The steps experience heavy foot traffic, and take a battering from the costal winds and rain, and have needed replacing on a number of occasions. Secondly the site is a conversation area, where continual disturbance of the environment is undesirable.</p><p> </p><p>BTCV had used British Recycled Products recycled plastic lumber on a number of projects, and were aware of the durability of the product. Recycled plastic lumber is impact resistant, will not rot split or splinter and is immune to moss and algae growth and impact damage. It can be used as a straight replacement for wood, offering a significantly increased lifespan and therefore the longevity required by the client.</p><p> </p><p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314130685?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-center" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314130685?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" height="213" width="632"/></a></p><p> </p><p>British Recycled Products supplied BTCV with various recycled plastic lumber profiles from which BTCV pre-fabricated 90 separate frames in their workshop. The recycled plastic can be cut, screwed and bolted in the same way as wood, with the added benefit that the material does not splinter during cutting making it easy to produce identical units. The steps were designed so that each step frame would slot into the one below it, making an easy to install kit with added strength and stability.</p><p> </p><p>The frames were delivered to site and the excavation process began, removing the old wooden steps and replacing them with the recycled plastic. This involved a lot of spade work, removing the soil, carefully placing the frame, backfilling it with the soil and slotting the next frame into place.</p><p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314127846?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-center" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314127846?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" height="324" width="488"/></a>The project took over a month, with 72 steps installed in the first phase and another 18 added later. The work was conducted by a core group of 6 BTCV volunteers, although numbers periodically swelled to up to 15. Finally, a section of decking made from BRPs recycled plastic lumber and decking boards was added to the top of the hill, joining the steps. </p><br/><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RaPkF6E_Ch4?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" height="549" width="625"></iframe><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p> </p><p><b>Amount of plastic diverted from landfill on this project – 1852 Kg</b></p><p><b>Milk Bottle Count - 102889</b></p></div>4000 free samples !https://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/4000-free-samples2010-12-17T20:00:00.000Z2010-12-17T20:00:00.000ZOfer El-hashaharhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/OferElhashahar<div><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Yes it is mad!</span> Our dinning table is full of plastic crumbs... I should say recycled plastic crumbs.... the living room looks more or less like a factory..... Oh ... Actually in the middle now... I was cutting 2000 samples of the material that we made Lawn edging, root barriers and any shape raised beds. So 2000 more to cut as I need 4000 samples!</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">I was not just cutting samples of our plastic material ( with my father in law help) I was also cleaning bits from the saw and glowing the samples to our new leaflet (with double sided tape, if you wonder) so far nearly a week of work with some breaks.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">It feels mad but I decided to add this samples to as inserts to the garden design journal.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">But is it really worth the time?</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">Why am I doing it? Is that for the money only?</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">Well money is a very important thing and do drive me a bit especially after a week off with friends - and they all have big houses and we lost, actually everything when we moved to the uk 3.5 years ago. Our rented house as I said is an office, factory and the garden is in some area more like a warehouse and a garden centre - with a collection of exotic plants for sale. And for my 3 daughters I would give the moon if they just ask but... is not just for the money.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">Look, we are all in this world in a stage that things are moving fast, no one give you quality control and tell you what is wrong and right. 2 years ago when I was lost with no hope, I decided that what I want to do is to start creating a change. I could see how so many people get ill and die and no ones know why or do a thing.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">It is clear that recycling , reusing and reducing are the key So I decided to use my knowledge and promote products that are green. I saw how difficult it can be to try and promte new products, so once I learned few ways I thought that I should try with more products after all it can help everybody.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">growing veg for example saves carbon footprint and also so healthy for soul and body and with our recycled plastic any shape enviro raised beds - it is so easy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">the lawn edging saves 65% on strimming and that is save for environment.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">but why recycled? well I chose products that are made from 100% recycled plastic. At university we hat a visit to were all the rubish used to be kept - It looks like a huge mountain that is still as my daughter say not a problem it is a disaster. milions of tons of rubbish that can not be moved as it has gas inside, it leeks to the underground water, it smell- and you know what ? what else can you do with all the rubish that we consume.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">So I choose green. green green. I want my daughters to enjoy a bit of clean air in 50 years lets say-</span> <br/><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">I actually hope that for any person that will live.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">True, when I started I chose few products that were great and wanted to sell them, but more and more I was looking for reasons to do so and decided that what is important for me is to show that green solutions does not have to cost more.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #333399; font-size: medium;">In the last few month I got few emails from customers saying how good are the raised beds, one of them is

Wonderfulhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/wonderful-just-wonderful2009-10-03T21:30:00.000Z2009-10-03T21:30:00.000ZOfer El-hashaharhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/OferElhashahar<div>Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! such a briliant day.I flow to israel the night before and already saw most of my family and some of my friends that came to visit me at sea.The sea was just amazing- clear pastel blue so you can see all the fish inside- spend most of the day in thewater and had a great meal and a pint in the resturant there.Just passed exam for the fire services 10 days ago after long time of being assest-yahhhhh.For me Glee was the fist time to see what an international opportunities there are when living in the Uk.I had some good reasponse from all sorts of and it looks great- distributors, agencies and cataloge firms from the uk europe and USA, also few landscaper that would like the strimmer resistant edgings.And just the few days ago got a catalouge with the raised beds in and sent a pallet for that firm- not trying to show off or anything but it is so great after all this hard work to see that it start moving on.just beforflying had an outdoor job to install my edging - got it through a friend that maintain gardens.It was realy hard as ithad mature trees all aroundthe lawn so I had to digg roots and stones- (should find a longer spade as well- (I am very tall!)- or perhaps a meachanic tool. It was great as the lady was so happy and said she will speak to all of her friends.The next thing to do is I think to work on PR and send info/ samples to 'Gardening leaders'- like magazines and tv progrrames.not sure yet who - if you have any ideas on someone that people trust let me know.Well should rest a bit this week so going fishing tommorow with my 6 years old niss (I promised her a while ago).So great to write again on this blog even more when things are great.best luck to you all.Offerwater or hkjkj</div>2 years in the UK , the biggest hose and Lj friendshttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/2-years-in-the-uk-the-biggest2009-07-03T10:04:26.000Z2009-07-03T10:04:26.000ZOfer El-hashaharhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/OferElhashahar<div>Few weeks ago was 2 years for me here- I was dying to write but too many things happened. One of the greatest things about living in the UK -is that you get new friends and you find supporting people.The week of the 2 years was not very nice as I had to spend 2 days learning all information that no one knows or actually should know to take a life in the uk test - (questions there for example where can you get your national insurance number) - and to pay £850 for a visa application -never mind all that is behind me.So, the longest or biggest hose in Lj -is just as a retained fireman , I am on call for few weeks and the only jobs I did was playing with school children -let them spray some water.After long time a new stock arrived - yes sure - <a rel="nofollow" href="http://best4gardn.co.uk" target="_blank">lawn edgings</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.best4garden.co.uk/shop/page/3?shop_param=" target="_blank">raised beds</a>.The new thing is a 12cm deep heavy duty edging in addition to the 15 cm, this edging is 2mm thick so looks just like what you might know as everedge or smartedge. In fact can last longer than metal edgings easier to use and reasonable price+ mark up for any resellers.The other line of the raised beds got new design so no fittings needed - so nothing to loose on posting. And with some colors Brown or Black.seems like there are less orders so should keep and contact garden centres and garden designers, and perhaps look for extra part time job. As savings are running out and lots of bill...-scary.well, should try to keep positive and work hard after all there is always a progress and keep getting positive feedback from customers. I think that my English is getting slightly better so it make things easier.Again many thanks to all of you that supported so far in my new adventure- I probably were not here without you.Is summer is a slow at new projects for you? trying to learn how the seasons effects us.yourOfer</div>
