Fencing

Decking is elevated wooden flooring, commonly constructed outdoors. This feature is often used as part of garden landscaping, creating a clean comfortable surface in the garden. Many people use decks as sun spots, ideal places to situate their garden tables and chairs for outside dining, or loungers to create a place where they can rest and enjoy their garden.

Usually an alternative to patios, this wooden platform can be easily maintained and works well with surrounding plants to create a nice modern look in a garden.
The term “Decking” originally comes from the nautical name “Deck”, that was given to the floor of a ships hull. As ships originally used the flat wooden surfaces to create their decks, this name transferred to the term for creating similar wooden surfaces on land.

People ususally require professional help when constructing decking in their garden.

When searching for a professional to construct the decking in your garden, it is best to compare several companies to see which is the company you are looking for.

  • Do they privide insurance? Many larger cinstruction works need insurance cover in case of accidents. Does the decking company include the insurance cover in their quote?
  • Request a breakdown of the quote, so that you get a list of what each individual service costs – this help you to see what you are paying for.

Although primarily using treated wood, many companies are now providing alternatives. “Composite Decking” is a type of decking material created from a mix of wood pulp and resins to provide more durable surfaces that are resistent to termites, rot, splintering and cracking. Other materials that can be used for decking include Aulminimum and PET Plastic. There are varying pros and cons with the different materials, so when you are searching for decking, be sure to look at the different materials available, considering the costs, the durability of the materials and the overall effect you are looking for. Professional decking experts should be able to give you information regarding the costs and endurance of the different materials, giving you the information you need to make your decision.
Decking Extras:

Decks can have a number of extra features that you add if you wish:

  • Deck Railing / Deck Guard Railing If your decking is elevated, a railing around the outside edge of the deck may be advisable to keep your decking safe. If you have children, or simply do not want to have to worry about accidents occuring from your raised deck, this is a good way to ensure safety.
  • Stairs A stairway from your decking to your garden, as an entry and exit point can be a nice feature to your garden. If you have an elevated deck, stairs are probably a necessity.
  • Lighting If you would like to make a real feature of your decking, you can have lighting added for a dramatic look at night. You can choose from a variety of options, including lighting spots along the edges of the deck floor, or lighting along the the deck railing.
  • Skirting Another option to consider if you have raised decking, is whether you would like to have a skirt underneath the deck. Skirting is a latticed wooden or vinyl “skirt” that is placed from below the outside edge of the deck to the ground, and hides the ground directly underneath the deck.
  • Storage Benches If you have a large deck and require a place to store garden equipment, you can opt to have a storage bench buillt on your deck. This feature privide a sitting place, and a neat way to store your things.
  • Extra Fencing If you require extra privacy in some areas of your decking, you can opt to have additional fencing added.
