These should do the job, exteria coach screws

Coach bolts would offer a more secure fitting but can come under do to expansion / shrinkage. I actually used coach bolts with nylon threaded nuts, you can get these from ebay.

I used Coach bolts as well, with a kinda spiky washer inbetween each piece of wood to stop any movement

ended up with these as i thought for the price and plenty left over for any other projects as i can never find screws or bolts and stuff when needed roud:

When i loooked at your pics, which look like a good job so far, I was wondering, do you need to put anything down to stop the weeds growing up?

 

[bro]

theres about 3 inches of that fine grey gravel stuff underneath the flags,dont know the name.plus cemented between the flags,done me mams front garden with weed barrier doubled and the coonts still came through so thought feckit

 

[leemoo]

Not a bad idea with the cement between the flags. Like to think that should do the job alone but weeds can obviously be stubborn b*st*rds!

If you want to slow down weeds then lay double layer of weed control fabric and top off with a layer of 10mm gravel. However you will still get seeds being blown around which could germinate on the gravel but they shouldn't grow much.

doing a great job m8, well done

 

[baron]

quick update.removed flags and relaid as they used to collect water and also made the area bigger as the decking was going there

Hi just a thought looking at the picture make sure you don't breech the damp course you cant see it due to the paint make sure your flag stones are below it leave a 3 inch gap between the brick and flag and infill with pea gravel
I would recommend keeping the decking on blocks and not fixing it to the house wall

 

[bro]

its fixed to that house wall but got about 3ish cm clearance
