Looks fantastic Mike, but to be fair it looked pretty good before. Did you have a hard time getting the slot heads out?
Cross-check still going strong, by the way. Absolutely love it.
-
Is that just a hobby project, or is that what you do for a job as well?
Because that looks fantastic.
-
A most excellent job, chapeau!

That's so lux, beauty job.
@Sharkstar, yep the GRK use Torx - flush mount would be better in terms of not retaining water of course though for shovelling snow (not likely an issue for most around here) I prefer a little below the surface. -
This is fantastic. I think my garden needs more variation in levels.

Hello! @withered_preacher & @Sharkstar - I've not been around for a little while. Funnily enough I completely redid the decking last year because the wood had hit the end of its serviceable life (almost 15 years, to be fair).
To build it this time we used fixings supplied by Jacksons fencing - stainless self-countersinking torx head. I used easily over 300 of them and didn't have a single failure. https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/product/sc_809902/60mm-decking-screw-stainless-steel-t25-torx-drive.pail-containing-200-pcs-driver-bit
For the underlying structure we used a range of fastenings, but I'd thoroughly recommend the TimbaDeck & TimbaScrew products from Screwfix.
Here's the fruits of my labour on this soggy spring morning.
