what you cladding it with ?

Canadian Red Cedar.
Was told if I wanted to use composite id have to go back to planning which is silly as it looks like timber!
Had a deal sort of on the Canadian Red

Upside down tyvec just in case you have to rotate the picture
Nice colours in the timber, decided to put a coat of preservative on and will oil or translucent coat on as the colours are to nice to go silver

We did similar today, the 7t beavertail is great for it. 2t machine on, 150kg derv wacker, bulk bag of ballast, 15 pin kerbs plus all the other bits and bobs.

Place where I get some of the decorative aggregates from have now stopped accepting collections....at first I was annoyed but the deliver rate quoted...well it'd not be worth turning engine over on the grab type of rate...and delivered on time and tipped exactly where I'd told them to...so it ment for a nice easy day.
