Post the laurels being trimmed and the decking jet washed, I decided to have a shuffle around of the storage boxes and furniture to make better use of the space. The large box to the right on the main deck houses the cushions for the sofa and chairs so thought it easier to leave this on the same tier, plus you can sit on it if needs be. Indeed I have purchased a cushion for it, albeit it could do with being bigger and better padded, but it's the biggest I could find without going for a custom fit.
The second tier now houses the bistro table and chairs - although they are currently in the garage awaiting a bit of a de-rust and paint job. A bit disappointed that the lacquer covering the seats has decided to flake off leaving rusted metal underneath, had hoped it would have lasted quite a bit longer. Still it will be a project for me over my two weeks hollibobs!
The top tier which goes off at a sharp angle to the top corner of the garden simply houses the small wheeled storage box which holds candles, some scatter cushions, anti-bac wipes, a lighter and several other "essentials" to save me having to keep popping indoors for things whilst I'm up there.
The furniture is easy enough to move around to either stay in or keep out of the sun and I have spent most evenings up there since it's been cleaned up. Think I'm getting a taste for the outdoor life 🤔 Nah let's not get too carried away 🤣
