Continuing where we left off last time...
The frame was built out. There are few noggins - the decking itself provides the bracing. Where there are some, it's about going round obstacles (like the ginko tree in the right of the below pic) or where the oak sleeper 'foundations' are out of square.
The frame is more or less complete in this pic. You can see the various devices to set the corners square and to ensure the surrounds' height is equal to the thickness of the deck boards.
This above pic is actually more or less the same pic taken from a little further back to show my temporary saw bench. The little evolution saw is pretty good at straight cuts, and with a bit of persistence and a few days later we got to this:
....which is more or less finished. There are a couple of bits of the sort of trellis effect to do, but it's usuable (see the muddy footprints!). Since this pic, I've added a beer bottle opener to one of the upright posts....
