"Thank you Ian for all the great work from you and your fabulous team. Your work has been greatly admired by many of my visitors. I am so happy to be able to sit in such lovely surroundings. Many, many thanks."
The beauty of decking is that you can easily customise it to suit your needs. But it’s easy to make a mistake, such as creating a deck that’s the wrong size for its surroundings. If it’s too small it’ll look lost and if it’s too big it’ll overpower the garden
Proper Planning
Will your deck be used for quiet relaxation, or do you want space for outdoor dining and entertaining? If your deck is to be a sunbathing spot, it’ll need to be in the right location to make the most of the sun during the day. If your deck is intended as a dining area, then consider how big the furniture will be and do you want it in full sunshine or some shade.
Think about everyone who’ll use the deck before you start to make sure what you’ve planned can handle everyone’s needs.
Don’t Skimp On Quality
Don’t be tempted to buy cheap decking or installation services as they’re likely to disappoint, simply because they won’t stand the test of time.
It’s better to buy the best you can afford and downscale the size of your project rather than scrimp on a larger deck. You can always extend and develop your decked area in phases later on.
Choose Materials To Suit Your Budget
For decking that will really last, choose a naturally durable hardwood such as yellow balau, iroko, cedar or oak.
Although at the more expensive end of decking budgets hardwood decking give you much longer in-service life.
A more affordable option may be treated softwood, which will give 10-15 years of usable service.
Composite Alternative
Timber isn’t your only option. Wood polymer composites (WPCs) were developed as an alternative to timber for environments where durability and rot and infestation resistance were needed.
Pricewise, WPCs are on a par with hardwoods, but may be worth the investment given their benefits. For starters, WPCs have strong environmental and sustainability credentials. What’s more, they don’t erode and are completely resistant to rot and attack by wood-boring insects.
They’re extremely stable, don’t crack or split, have excellent workability and can be shaped and cut using conventional woodworking tools. WPCs can also be curved with the application of heat to form strong, arching contours.
Bring in the pros
If all this seems daunting then why not let us take the worry and stress away. We have that essential understanding on how to design and build the perfect feature. We will ensure you will have a deck that is safe for its intended use, based on what it has to support.
