Laying Deck

Wooden decking is adaptable and blends with most garden styles. It can be built from hardwood, pressure-treated softwood or naturally durable softwoods. Pretreated decking can be left natural, or you can choose from a huge variety of colored stains or treatments. Whatever you choose to build, or hire someone to build, make sure to check building regulations and planning requirements for large or above-ground structures.
