All I am going to say, is whatever you do is DO NOT use any of the Ronseal or Cuprinol decking stain, If you are going to stain it use this Wood Floor Care & Wood Protection from Harmful Effects of Weathering as its oil based. All the B&Q stuff is water based and it will flake of in about 6 months.

Should be OK, as its a oil
Never use a water based stain or protector.

looked on wickes,they have deck boards at 3.6m which is near enough to 12 ft but they only do 3 m deck bearers,would of thought they would do em the same length?
Just build the base yourself with either 4x2 or 5x2 Way buy pre cut wood, when you can cut it yourself.
You would also be better getting the timber from a woodyard.

Exact same setup here pal but I just chopped the uprights, dipped them in oil to reseal, and stood them straight onto the flags.
That was 8yrs ago or so and they are still rock solid. I think them being on the flags actually helps as they aint surrounded by wet soil.
I put an upright in every 2 feet or so, staggered on alternating cross members.
thinking about it now every fookers in bed and its quiet the height from the flags to the patio is 10 inch max,,,could get some 6x2`s that would leave 4 ish minus decking board,would be far of and less of a drop than that step is thats there
roud:cheers peeps
If you need longer lengths then check your local timber yard. My local yards both do 6x2 and decking in 5.2m lengths.
Also get a chop saw if you can, or better still a sliding compound mitre saw. Makes it a piece of cake to get clean square cuts.

Looking good bud
Just one suggestion, I would fix facia decking to the outside edges.. then lay the top deck board...... then you wont see the frame... you also have something to rest the top deck boards on as the edges will overhang the thickness of a board if that makes sense.
