Having cleared the ground and taken the soil to the dump, I made a series of paving stone piles, tamping the earth down hard and checking each was roughly level:
...and once that was done, a thick bit of plastic was used as a DPM, over which went some house bricks:
Some old wooden bearers were then placed across the piles and it was relatively easy to shim them with oddments of ply to get them all level:
The timber for seasoning was then stacked (London Plane and Oak) and if you're observant, you may be able to see the ridiculous sums

The whole lot was then covered with more bearers and a large, heavily weighted tarp placed over the top:
Not too bad for an afternoons work and the princely sum of £35 - Rob
