Could it be taken up and gravel or even dense bark chippings be put down instead - iow something that will allow rain to drain well? It may save you time, trouble and accident in the longterm. I think so Sacha. *It's not actually part or connected to the raised decking area. It was designed and put in by a previous owner and laid higher than the ground underneath which is weed mat covered. Difficult to explain clearly. Sorry not to follow you clearly but does "I think so" mean *you have to keep it or that you could get rid of it? *If there's weed suppressing membrane there, that could still be covered with e.g. bark chippings as rain draiins through it. But if it's a height difference problem that may not be so easy for you to overcome. I wasn't clear, sorry. *It means we have to keep it. *I can't see bark chippings would be any good as it would spread from the area. *But thanks for the suggestion. *Wire seems a better suggestion but I need to know exactly what type of wire. -- Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you, not because they are nice but because you are. *Anonhttp://ariesval.wordpress.com/ As I said earlier I'd use a 3/4 inch mesh which is a smaller mesh than chicken wire. It will give you a better grip. When I said Nail down I actualy meant use staples to fix it (Not the sort from a staple gun) David |
