Wooden decking is an increasingly fashionable option for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Due to the natural beauty of wood, they can be very fashionable spaces that can be used year round by using outside heating and illumination. Wooden decking is typically fitted in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking can come in any size or shape to match any area. Curved designs or large areas connected by pathways can produce a stunning effect. Wooden decking is relatively quick to install and causes little disruption, especially when compared to alternate options like patio or paving. It can even be installed over the top of an existing patio. It is critical however to be sure that your wooden decking is structurally sound and able to take the weight of any furniture or plants that you want to use on the decking. There is a collection of types of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Typically decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability specifications. As hardwood decking will need maintenance, which typically includes annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become more popular for use in wooden decking because they are more robust and require far less maintenance.
The typical cost of Wooden decking is £1500. Costs can change based upon the materials and the firm hired. The upper price range can be as high as £1725. The material costs are commonly approximately £375

Abbots Langley is a sizeable village and civil parish in the English county of Hertfordshire. It is an old settlement and is mentioned under the name of Langelai in the Domesday Book of 1086. This village has a long background of effective human habitation. The first signs of human residence in the location were recorded by prominent archaeologist Sir John Evans. The village sits on a saucer of clay covered by a coating of gravel, and consequently water supply has never been an issue; records show that in earlier times water could be drawn from a well only twenty feet deep. Economically, the village is tightly linked to Watford and was previously part of the Watford Rural District. Since 1974 it has been included in the Three Rivers district. According to the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 10472. The modern Katherine Place development has acquired a number of high class retailers to the centre and it was sold for £2.93 million in December 2005. There are a number of sports opportunities for locals, with the town being the location of a number of football and cricket clubs. Abbots Langley F.C., the local side who at present play in the West Herts Saturday League, make use of the facilities at the close-by Leavesden Country Park. To the south of the village are Leavesden Film Studios, on the former RAF and later Rolls-Royce airfield, where scenes from films including Golden Eye, Sleepy Hollow and the Harry Potter series have been shot. For all of your house improvement work, make sure to identify reliable pros in Abbots Langley to make certain of quality.

If your deck isn’t going to be flat to the ground, it’s a good idea to have some kind of balustrade to avoid any tripping. If the gap between the deck and the ground is less than 600mm, use a 900mm balustrade. If it’s higher than 600mm, the balustrade should be 1100mm tall.
Properly installed wooden decking will not need a lot of maintenance. Most manufacturers recommend regularly brushing leaves and dirt off the deck, and a yearly cleaning and staining procedure. This will keep the wood in the best condition. Fluids and treatments are readily available from all DIY shops and stores.
