Making the Subframes

Mark out the area planned for your walkway, preparing  it to make it as level as possible.

Make as many four-sided subframes as required. Nail or screw the frames together at the corners, ensuring they are square. Level the subframes by packing where necessary with bricks  or timber, which can then be hidden by the surrounding soil.

If the framework needs to be sunk for further stability, dig holes to the required depth at each external corner and at 800mm centres along the length of the framed area.
