wouldnt it be a better job to concrete vertical sleepers into the ground and attach the horizontal sleepers to them
on a summers day with a lot of folk sitting on those sleepers the load would be very big
imperial bricks you pay through the nose for giles
some kind of red stock would be your friend here
hi Giles I know the drawing is just a guide but I would seriously doubt the brackets ability to stand up to the punishment of a few big lads like ourselves sitting on the edge of the sleepers. I think the torque would rip then out especially because the wall fixings are so close together. I think it needs a T bracket with some diagonal cross bracing on the underside. Shouldn't be to much of a drama to get them fabricated and they're more likely to satisfy insurance and safety requirements.
so further details emerge that if we get it they need it all doing by the 13th of december so gettin stuff made might be tight.
i think maybe brickwork pillars every 1 metre or so might be the way to go, ideas on attaching the oak apart from drilling and plugging? or rawl bolts?
60mm thick oak should be pretty strong maybe just one in each middle section and maybe angle iron holders on the ends?
weinberger have the the weald red multi
just need to source the double cants or double bull noses in blue maybe
tony how would you go about the steps, just cut them all on site with stihl saw or try and get radius bricks?
i'll post a better pic tomorrow, theyve specified half round bricks for the risers

personally I'd decline it if it's to be done by the 13th especially if it's to be paved aswell. You'd need to start it next week and the walls should be up for a few weeks before you hang anything on them. You'll be knocking your pan in on this one to have it ready.
Being asphalted then resin bonded when weather improves, plan now is to sit the oak benches into brick pillars filled with concrete, maybe 1 metre spans so be 1 metre oak, 4 brick pillar that will be level with oak so be a seat/glass table then 1 metre oak, then pillar etc. be tight but be good to get in with these guys they're buying pubs all over Sheffield to do up. Weekends and nights lol fun but works work and I'm a firm believer in not turning work down. Internal pub outfitter has quoted £32k for it, so there definetly money in it. Just working it out at mo, brickworks not my thing though so corners in header bond etc obviously take twice as long? £2.80 for double bullnose in blues tiny from Travis
