Wooden decking is an increasingly fashionable choice for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very beautiful spaces which can be used year round with the help of additional heating and lighting. Wooden decking is often fitted in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking can come in any size or shape to match any area. Curved designs or large areas linked by pathways can produce an impressive effect. Wooden decking is fairly quick to install and causes minimal disruption, especially in comparison to alternatives like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is vital however to make certain that your wooden decking is structurally sound and able to take the load of any furniture or plants that you want to use on the decking. There is a choice of species of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Normally decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability specifications. As hardwood decking will need maintenance, which generally will involve yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming popular for use in wooden decking as they are stronger and require significantly 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

Balerno is a residential area of Edinburgh, Scotland positioned 8 miles (13 kilometres) south-west of the city centre, alongside Currie and afterwards Juniper Green. Administratively, Balerno falls within the jurisdiction of the City of Edinburgh Council. Its name stems from the Scottish Gaelic Baile Àirneach, indicating "townland/town of the hawthorns". The earliest written documents of Balhernoch or Balernach are discovered in the late 13th century. The 18th Century brought significant development to the location, with several brand-new flax, snuff and paper mills springing up around the Water of Leith and its tributary, the Bavelaw Burn (proof of flax manufacturing can be seen in Harlaw Woods). The largest of these mills, Balerno Bank Paper Mill located near the centre of the old village enclosed the very early 1980s. After the First World War home structure began in earnest in the area as well as since then household pressures have virtually overloaded industrial as well as commercial ones. There was a short loop train running over what is currently the Water of Leith Walkway.

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.
Usually, slipperiness is caused by algae or dirt on top of the deck or terrace. A full cleaning treatment should restore the natural grip of the wood or stone. If slipperiness is a persistent problem, consider installing grip mats in high traffic areas of the deck.
