Decking
& Accessories
Bring
your home into your garden, making it even more enjoyable, by
introducing our timber decking. Create your own suntrap, a tranquil
corner for a quiet read, or the perfect location for that summer
barbecue.
Warm
and soft to the touch, the natural beauty of wood will perfectly
complement the peace and changing seasons of your garden.
Planning
your Deck
There are a number of aspects you should take into consideration
when planning your deck.
- Will
it be functional, decorative, or both?
- As
an alternative to a traditional paved patio, it needs to be
large enough to allow comfortable use of seating, patio tables
and chairs.
- Will
the deck be at ground level or elevated?
- Check
the depth and position of underground pipes, cables and services.
Positions of inspection chambers and manhole covers should also
be considered when designing and planning your deck.
- Will
the deck be used for privacy or as a focal point? Do you want
to make the most of the sun or use the deck for shade? Plan
the deck to take advantage of views, or combine with trellis,
balustrading and/or foliage to screen unwanted ones.
- Reflected
heat off a south facing wall will turn a cool deck into a warm
one. Trees provide cool shade in summer and warmth in winter
for south facing decks. A partial screen, foliage and/or balustrading
can help diffuse wind without completely blocking it, allowing
some cooling on warm days. How well you consider the climate
of your area will have a great deal of bearing on how often
you use your deck.
