Throughout my garden I have a little network of paths to move about the different areas. My yard soaps upwards at the back which means any paths leading to the back of the yard have quite the incline. One path through the middle that gets used the most started to become hazardous and slippery after rain. It was time to do something about it...
I wanted to build easy, cheap steps to solve this problem using materials I already had. I also had to be mindful of the shallow irrigation running up the middle of the path. So I gathered all the treated pine sleepers I had laying around.
After cutting everything to size I set to work digging and constructing the steps.
It took all weekend but the steps turned out great. Using rocks and pavers that were also laying around we made a really nice, simple set of steps for very little money (about $10 worth of brackets and screws). To see exactly how I did it, check out the video below...
