Need wood rings to make patio, can you help

[Rupe]

I agree! It looks ok if you are there becaus its real, so obviously not wall paper!!

 

I thought they would all crack and go grey but so far so good, they get some protection from the elements and not much direct sunlight, its just a small courtyard in a pub.

 

The point of the story is to do whatever the designer wants as they are often a good source of work! This particular one is extremely expensive so any jobs I get through her are going to be for wealthly clients, so she wants 60mm rings of hardwood, she gets it, no charge.

Rings of timber, even hardwood, would be a nightmare for walking on. Wont take long for the sapwood to start rotting, fungi everywhere etc

I think that's why decking was invented

Exactly!

The only way I could see it working would be with oak, the sapwood removed.

You don't need to see it working if you have only been asked to supply the wood.

We were asked to something a bit simialr but not very similar in a wierd way this client wanted some stumps in her garedn left and asked if we could criss cross like a giant noughts and crosses game on a ring. This may sound and will look odd its all I can thing of for this.
