Comments (6)I think a second patio would be a great idea to catch the last bit of sun. I think trellis to hide the shed is great too and I see you have a climber (honeysuckle, wisteria?) growing on it which is great too. I’m thinking a nice circle for the second patio would be great with some seating. I’m not a fan of decking. It soon starts to rot (I’m speaking from experience) and it’s so slippery when it’s wet. My deck is 8 years old and already rotting in the damper corners. I would choose sandstone paving, which come in ready made circles if you want, or pavers are lovely. You can get clay ones which are pricey but beautiful, or concrete ones which are much cheaper and similar to your main patio. Love Carolina’s and embzop‘s suggestions!

Comments (7)Ya I suppose, we've no kids ourselves at the moment but I'm just afraid if were renting out the house soon and they have young kids. I want to do all I can to make it as safe as possible but like you said any kids very young should be kept an eye on. I'm also next door to a school so if any balls are kicked over the fence I don't want them climbing down the rocks and slipping either. Hopefully they won't ever come over but I'm still of what could happen if they do....See MoreAny advice on how to create paths in a very steep garden
Comments (4)Thank you for your suggestions. I will try to post some photos shortly... Sonia, your ideas look great but our definitely beyond my skills (and budget!) our garden is on a much steeper incline too. The previous owner has put some of the 'plank steps' in to get from the terrace to the grassed area but they look very old and bit rotten now.. Ideally it would be nice to be able to traverse the garden rather than just walk down in a straight line, hard to envisage without photos so I will endeavour to post some.......See More

last yearI think the only solution for the drop is still decking. Paving could interfere with your damp proof course. You could have a bigger deck built to accommodate a table and chairs. I know wooden decking doesn’t last long, so I wonder if composite decking will do?
