Wooden Decking in Cirencester

Wooden decking is an increasingly common choice for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Due to the natural beauty of wood, they can be very beautiful areas that can be used year round with the addition of additional heating and lighting. Wooden decking is generally installed in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between inside and outside spaces. Wooden decking can come in any size or shape to suit any area. Curved designs or large areas linked by pathways can produce an impressive effect. Wooden decking is reasonably quick to install and causes little disruption, particularly when compared to other possibilities like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is important however to make certain that your wooden decking is structurally sound and capable of taking the weight of any furniture or plants that you would like to use on the decking. There is a choice of species of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Commonly decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will need maintenance, which usually entails annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become more popular for use in wooden decking as they are more robust and require significantly less maintenance.

Cirencester

Cirencester is a market town in the east of the English county of Gloucestershire. It is situated on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames. The town is divided into 5 diverse locations: the suburbs of Chesterton, Stratton, which were formerly separate villages outside the town, Watermoor and the Beeches. Cirencester was a prosperous market town by the latter half of the 1700s, being inside the middle of a network of turnpike roads to enable easy access to markets for its produce of mainly grain and wool. There was a nearby grammar school for those who could afford the cost of fees along with the uniform, and businesses flourished within the town. Having a population of 19076, according to the 2011 Census, it is the biggest town in the Cotswold District. Being home to the Royal Agricultural University, which is the oldest agricultural college in England, established in 1840, there's a sizeable student population. The town serves mainly as a centre for nearby villages, as a source of employment and for leisure, shopping and sporting activities. As a result of the availability of easy transport links, it is also a commuter town for larger centres, including Cheltenham, Swindon and Stroud. The closest airports to the town are Bristol Airport, Cotswold Airport at Kemble, London Heathrow and Birmingham. A well-liked landmark is Cirencester House, which is the location of what has been judged as among the list of the finest landscape gardens in England, set out by the first Earl Bathurst after 1714. Cirencester is also home to Cirencester Town F.C., who've been in the Southern League Premier Division since 2011.For all of your home upgrades, ensure that you employ trustworthy professionals in Cirencester to make sure you get the most effective quality.

FAQs

How much maintenance will a wooden deck need?

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.

Will I need safety barriers or balustrades for my decking?

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.

Can I fit a hot tub on my terrace or decking?

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.

How to build decking on a slope?
You might think that building decking on a slope is a no-go, but it’s actually a great way to help you make use of your garden when the ground is sloping. It will provide you with a level surface that you can BBQ on as well as dine alfresco without finding that your meal is rolling down the table. But how do you build decking on a slope? Our guide in the FAQ above, ‘How to build a raised deck’, is the perfect solution – but we’ll break it down here if you just want to get an idea of what’s involved. Dig out the area If you’re laying on soil or turf, you’ll need to dig it out. Dig down and remove all the turf from the area and ensure that there are no weeds or stones in the area you’re going to build your decking on. Since you’re building on a slope, it will be hard to get it level, but dig out to a depth of 50mm and lay weed-control fabric with gravel over the top. Add posts and set with concrete Make holes for posts and add them in, ensuring they’re longer than you need. Make sure they’re level, then fill the holes with a concrete mix to set them in place. Build the outer frame Make sure you always work at the top of the slope when you’re building your decking, and measure where the highest point of the decking will be. Secure the 4 sides of the outer frame and factor in a 2mm fall for every metre of decking so rainwater can run off. Add joists Secure joists along your frame at 400mm intervals. If you get to the last joist and there will be more than a 400mm gap left at the end, add in an extra one for support. Lay your deck boards Screw your deck boards to the joists, ensuring that the deck boards are running in the opposite direction to the joists. For timber boards, you need to make sure you leave an expansion gap of 5-8mm. These steps should give you an idea of whether you want to have a go at building decking on a slope, or whether you want to leave it to the pros.
