Sorry for the delay, not a major construction scheme and there are still some works to complete.
The missing flag needs to be cut but there's likely to be another post in there for a handrail but the (excellent) supplier is waiting for some revised, angled, brackets from the manufacturer and the haven't arrived yet. (I also need to cut around the step).
I am going to place gravel around the edge and then on the other side I am looking at alternatives to retain. At one end of the patio it's virtually at ground level but at the other there's about a 450 - 500 drop. Sleepers?
And while teeth are itching, I was going to set the gate at the same level as the fence but "Management" was concerned that the smaller of out two mutts could squeeze under it so I lowered it. The fence is there to contain the dogs who would otherwise run riot around the rest of the garden. She can bring them home from the beach and push them in there for a while to dry,and drop sand.
If you count the steps into the dining area you'll note I've buried one. Management idea and a good one (for a change).
I didn't want the flags overlapping the step edge hence the slightly odd arrangement at the bottom of the steps.
Fencing is Fensys supplied by D&M Fencing (Stirling)
Stone flags are Raj Green supplied by Price Paving of Bedale in Yorkshire.
Pointing is Marshalls Weatherpoint 365

After:
Love the colouring of the stone when wet and a number of people (inc the guy helping with the garage base and the company installing some replacement windows) were well impressed with the Fensys fencing. Most impressed is "management" who got out there on a chair yesterday with the mutts.
Not sure if the base for the garage is is in the background of the photos but that's another story.
Cheers Guys
