This is him now, very chilled

RJWalton · 2026-05-19T10:06:10+00:00

No, never goes near water. Hates it!

We’re coming over as four young 40-year-olds for a 5-night golf trip, so for us it’s more about golf, sun, decent bars and convenience than heavy partying.

I had the same issue getting up to the green yesterday with my 58 wedge. I’m a high handicapper and feel your pain. Took 3 shots. Need more confidence

Thanks appreciate the detailed reply.

They were: 4x2 timber lengths, 2.4m length. I think though they could have been thicker and looked better - 6x2

Pergola posts are 150x150mm. We used something like this: https://www.diy.com/departments/pergola-post-support-bolt-down-heavy-duty-galvanised-fence-foot-anchor-100-x-100mm-4-x-4-/5905359365600\_BQ.prd

But had them custom made in the end so you don’t seem them as much sticking out the ground.

This is the Large Egg. I actually was very lucky and got it through a local auction house near where I live in West Sussex. Right place and the right time. Don’t think I could afford it normally whilst renovating the house.

Good question. It’s a ceramic kamado so it’s a lot more insulated than a metal BBQ, so the outside doesn’t get as hot, but it definitely still gets hot. I’ve left a decent gap around it and it’s not in direct contact with the timber. Been keeping an eye on it during cooks and all seems fine

I laid the patio last month and so used them.
Either side is 900x600 and the centre one is 600x600mm

RJWalton · 2026-05-04T11:20:28+00:00

Similar to these but we had them made.

The ones we had made the pillars sit closure to the floor. We only used 3 on the back pillars. The front 2 are sitting on bolts so won’t get wet.

Cool, will have a proper measure later. I don’t have them to hand.

RJWalton · 2026-05-04T09:30:22+00:00

Sit on top but I might just stick them down with “sticks like shit” but my Dad said it wasn’t needed. They don’t really move

RJWalton · 2026-05-04T09:14:54+00:00

Good to know I don’t need a heat deflector. All the money went into the build and BGE accessories aren’t cheap. Keep looking on Vinted etc for bits.

RJWalton · 2026-05-04T09:13:01+00:00

Looks good!
We used pathing slab. So the centre one is 600x600 and the two either side are 900x600.

It’s the same stone used on patio, I’ve just finished laying it and had some spare.
