Hi All,

 

Hope I find you all well after a stunning weekend (weather wise)

 

A landscaper friend of mine asked me to supply a patio floor made out of rings of wood :001_huh: for the end of May.

 

He is looking to cover 30m sq and looking at the discs being around 4" deep and diameter of around 10" ish.

 

I was thinking that I don't really have those sort of regular bits of timber and nor have the time or space to store this kind of timber.

 

Does anyone want to supply this. PM me and I shall get you in contact with him.

 

The job would be in west london - near the north circular. It maybe worth it to travel seeing as it's such a large amount of wood.

30m Sq is bold, as the only times I have come across these, they have been verrrrry skiddy (me mum once had an stepping "stone" path made out of log ends that was a death trap).

 

 

It there any wood (hardwood / softwood or species) that is less prone to turning into a skating rink, I wonder?

I said this to my mate originally, just spoke to him again and he says the project is too committed to change. Not his idea, probably some lovely designer:thumbup:

Your thoughts on this please.

I would have thought a durable timber such as oak or sweet chestnut would be most suitable. I may be able to sort something but it is a fair way down from here. PM me with any details and I'll see if I can help.

I got a load cut for a garden designer once but they were for a log wall not a floor. I thought that idea was crazy but they still look ok 2 years later. The were 60mm thick and various hardwoods of all sizes.

cool............

.......I think.

 

 

I am partially reminded of continental wood stack

 

 

But also partially reminded of 70's wall paper.

 

.......so then again, maybe not cool :biggrin:

Why not use concrete ones,they are available,won't rot,last for years,and you won't break your neck on them.

Bradstone etc do them in a variety of styles.

Makes more sense to me!

 

stepping stones

 

 

Scroll to the botom of the page,they do 'concrete planks' too,spoilt for choice and senible option!
