Hi all. I'm doing a small job for a friend - basically, I'm going to build a triangular step for their newly installed 'garden room'. It's an easy triangle to cut the wood for - 2 x 45degree angles and the third is 90 degrees. The plan is to build a frame (timber I've got is 100mm wide x 32mm thick), then fix battens (same timber, attached to the inside of the frame) running from top to bottom (of the triangle) and then fix deck boards across the triangle at 90 degrees to the battens. I was planning on using angle brackets to attach the battens to the frame but an struggling to find any at the angle I'd need for a few (I.e I can't find any other than 90 degree brackets). The whole thing will sit on a concrete base which is already laid.
Any ideas? I could just screw into the frame / end of each batten I suppose?
Also, the frame will sit on the concrete but if anyone has any ideas what I might put between the frame and the concrete - perhaps to extend the life of the weird 8 / minimise damp -, feel free to share them!
Thank you.
