Wooden decking is an increasingly fashionable option for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very fashionable areas which can be used year round with the help of additional heating and light. Wooden decking is usually fitted in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking is available in virtually any size or shape to complement any area. Curved designs or large areas linked by pathways can create a striking effect. Wooden decking is fairly easy to install and causes little disruption, especially when compared to alternate options like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is important however to be certain 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 range of types of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Commonly decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability specifications. As hardwood decking will demand maintenance, which generally includes annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming 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

Bridport is a market town within Dorset, England. It is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) inland from the English Channel near the confluence of the River Brit and its tributary the Asker. Bridport consists of many little suburban districts, a few of which had previously been separate villages. One and a half miles from the town centre and inside the town's boundary is West Bay, a small fishing harbour referred to as Bridport Harbour until the opening of the town's railway. With reference to the 2012 Census, the town has a population of roughly 14,700, which highlights a modest increase from the around 13,568 as per in the 2011 Census. In line with council tax records, in 2014, the proportion of residences within Bridport's built-up area that were second homes was 4.8%. The town originated in the Saxon period and it boasts a long history as a rope-making location, though several of its buildings date back to the eighteenth century. In the twenty-first century, Bridport's arts scene has contributed to the town becoming increasingly well-known with those from outside the area. It has an arts centre, theatre, library, cinema and museum, and various yearly events. The Lyric Theatre, which reopened in 2010, hosts quirky theatre, puppetry, comedy, clowning and music. It's also the base of children's theatre company Stuff and Nonsense. Bridport Museum, located in South Street, contains an in depth archive of the town's lengthy history of rope-making. The town also features as Port Bredy in the fictional Wessex of Thomas Hardy's novels.

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.
Yes, although you should make sure that the terrace or decking is able to support the weight of a hot tub. Usually, you will need to have a structural survey carried out on the area. Seek the advise of a hot tub retailer or installer about the logistics of installing one at your property.
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.
