so, my two good friends matto and adam have the day off school tomorrow, and we're gonna start building this:



Images made in google sketchup.
Gonna cost around 40 quid, looks like its gonna be epic fun though!

all wood except the quarter, gonna make that out of card. Obvs granite ledge will be a granite tile, and grass stuff will be that fake grass you can get.
Big open space is for my ledges/polebank/etc that I have, space to use them so I can put what ever I feel like there, maybe even a kicker to gap over the rope gap etc

thoughts?

wats the point of stairs behind the granite ledge
i think it should connect to the top of the stairs
but it looks pretty cool

^ because its a wholeee lot easier to make like that, haha thanks for the idea though, I might change it to that one day in the future, like build a bit that slots on top so I can have either, but yea, for now its staying like that

dude looks amazing!!! i have one suggestion, the granite looks a little but to square ish needs to be a little thinner and longer, looks really cool! pics when your done

looks sick kerry cant wait to see pictures of the finished thing

I have nothing to cut granite with, and they sell 10x10cm granite tiles on ebay for 99p shipped, so I'm just using one of them, thats all the granite I can get so, yea, its a perfect square, but, should still be fun ^___^

make the qauter wood and it will be 10/10 haha

looks rly sick

get granite an get it cut at BnQ, I'm sure they would sell it either in the size you want or cut it for you.

Ha, that looks pretty good kerry

heres what gone today.
Made legs for it, but, they collapsed >_<
Good then I ended up buying twice the amount of leg wood that I needed by accident (it was silly cheap : o)
gonna build a really strong support for it soon, not tomorrow as my mum is coming to visit, probs wednesday though ^____^

I had to use a lot of tape, nails and glue didn't work as well as I wanted/weren't possible for most of it, but, its fun to sesh, really fun. Heres what I made so far:





Might look unprofessional, but, its what I wanted it to turn out like pretty much! The hubba isn't too short btw, it'll be sick when its got granite on it!
Thankyou everyone for your ideas on that, but, that'd cost wayy more money than I have, haha. I have £1 left of my budget for this park, and, the tile is 99p, so I'ma order it in a bit ^_^

sick kerry as you said the other day , its not what it looks like, its how you use it
when we wetre discussing decks in the chatroom
but yeah, looks rather sick if i do say so myself

looks fun

looks pretty sick
i bet its fun to sesh on

Made the supports! Painted the bottom sides, they're gonna have brick lines drawn into them when they're dry. The raised section will be painted white, but the 'floor' will stay wood.
Changed the crappy cardboard + shoelace rope gap to a fence made of wood. Added a grass gap and put my first ever wood deck (close up g2), that snapped, in the grass. Saw someone on FFI (sam aronie or something like that?, he does loads of cool graphics by what I can see) made a plaza ages ago and put a snapped deck in a grass gap, I think it looks amazing. So credit to him for that idea.

Marble tile turned up in the post, but wasn't square and more importantly was broken in half >_< so I complained and the guy said he'd send me another one, and that he'd try to make it as square as possible

Sooooooo stoked on how it turned out! It looks really professional I think! And its not even finished, when its painted and you can't see the tape any more, it'll be amazing! Its soo fun to sesh! Can't wait to try the marble ledge : o

thoughts guys? How close do you think I am to my original plan? I think I managed to make it really close, well pleased with myself, I never imagined I'd make anything even remotely this good!

looks sick kerry its practically exactly the same as the plan, did you build the quater? or leave it out?

That is sick!!

I've not built the quater yet, gonna make a quater and a flatbank, can't decide which one to put at which end : o

and, thanks ^____^

White paint done!
Gonna start working on the flatbank now ^_^

COol

sick! :O

Bumping pics from earlier today that are on the last page incase people didn't see them : o these were before the white paint obviously

Question, does anyone know where you can get the stuff that you make metal square coping out of? : o angled metal basically, I need some to make my flatbank!

Why did you put stickers on it before you painted it?

because.. I didn't think, haha.. I don't think it looks too bad though

kerry the metal square edge stuff can be bought from model shops i think
