Wooden decking is an increasingly common choice for providing 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 adding external heating and light. Wooden decking is frequently installed in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking is available in virtually any size or shape to suit any area. Curved designs or large areas connected by pathways can create a stunning effect. Wooden decking is relatively simple to install and causes little disruption, especially in comparison to alternate options like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of an existing patio. It is critical however to make sure 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. Generally decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will require maintenance, which typically consists of annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become popular for use in wooden decking as they are more robust and require much 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

The London Borough of Havering is a London borough in East London, England and forms part of Outer London. The London Borough of Havering was established in 1965 by the combined former area of the Municipal Borough of Romford and Hornchurch Urban District which had been moved to Greater London from Essex by the London Government Act 1963. The name Havering is a reference to the Royal Liberty of Havering which occupied the location for a number of centuries. The local authority is Havering London Borough Council.
The principal town in Havering is Romford and the other primary communities are Hornchurch, Upminster and Rainham. Havering is bordered to the south by the London Borough of Bexley by the River Thames, towards the west by the London Borough of Redbridge and also the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and to the north and east by Essex. The borough is mainly characterised by suburban improvement with large locations of protected open space. Havering covers a total area of 43.35 square miles. There is a high ratio of area per capita as significant areas of Havering are parkland and 23 square miles (60 km2), which is more than 50% of the borough, is Metropolitan Green Belt protected land. Those locations of development are comprehensive but seldom intensive.
Romford's urban centre is a main metropolitan retail and evening entertainment centre and to the south the borough extends in to the London Riverside redevelopment area of the Thames Gateway. Havering is served by the London Underground and there's an extensive network of London Bus routes.

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.
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.
