Wooden Decking in Ilfracombe

Wooden decking is an increasingly prevalent option for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Due to the natural beauty of wood, they can be very beautiful areas which you can use year round by installing 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 interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking can come in virtually any size or shape to match any area. Curved designs or large areas connected by pathways can create an attractive effect. Wooden decking is fairly easy to install and causes minimal 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 essential however to make sure that your wooden decking is structurally sound and capable of taking the load of any furniture or plants that you would like to use on the decking. There is a variety of varieties 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 require maintenance, which usually involves annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming more popular for use in wooden decking because they are stronger and require significantly less maintenance.

Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe is a seaside resort and civil parish on the North Devon coast, England. It has a small harbour and is surrounded by high cliffs. The parish ranges along the coastline from the 'Coastguard Cottages' in Hele Bay toward the east and 4 miles along the Torrs to Lee Bay toward the west. The resort is sloping and the highest point in the parish boundary is at 'Hore Down Gate', 2 miles inland and at 860 feet (270 m) above sea level. The feature of Hillsborough Hill dominates the harbour and is the site of an Iron Age fortified settlement. In the constructed environment, the architectural-award-winning Landmark Theatre is either loved or hated for its unusual double-conical style. The 13th-century parish church, Trinity, and the St Nicholas's Chapel, which is a lighthouse on Lantern Hill, have been joined by the Damien Hirst owned statue, Verity, as points of interest. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town of Ilfracombe has a permanent population of around 11184. Up until the middle of the 19th century, Ilfracombe's economy was based around maritime activities. This included importing lime and coal from Wales, fishing for herring, and global trade to such places as West Africa and the West Indies. In George III and the Regency period, the town, which had a population of 1800, was home to a lot of navy personnel. There were four admirals, numerous captains, and other commissioned and non-commissioned sailors. Over the 19th century, the town gradually developed into a traveler resort served by ferryboats along the Bristol Channel. The opening of the train line further hastened this progression. For all your home makeovers, make sure to identify reliable specialists in Ilfracombe to make certain of 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.

How to build a deck frame?
Building a simple deck frame, or decking subframe, that you’re laying on level ground is easy if you take time to prepare and get all the things you need. We’ll go through the steps on how to build a deck frame here. Tools and equipment To get building your deck frame, you’ll need:
  • Decking joists
  • Coach screws
  • Coach bolts
  • Combi drill
  • Socket set
  • A saw suitable for your project and the thickness of the timber
  • Pencil
  • Decking preservative
  • Sandpaper or sander
Build your subframe
  1. Measure your deck frame and cut to size if necessary.
  2. Make 2 pencil marks on each end of the frame’s 2 outer joists to mark where the coach screws will go. They need to align with the centre of the adjoining outer joist. Then, use a flat wood drill bit to drill recesses into each mark. Make them the same depth of the screws that your using’s head and wide enough for a ratchet or socket to tighten them.
  3. Using a thinner drill bit, line up the outer joists and drill a pilot hole through the middle of the recess. These pilot holes act as a guide for the screws and stops them from splitting the wood.
  4. Fit the coach screws with either a drill driver or socket and ratchet.
  5. Repeat the process for the inner joists once you’ve assembled the outer frame.
IMPORTANT: While you’re building your deck frame and the decking itself, remember to cover all pilot holes and ends of timber in decking preservative to ensure that your decking remains structurally sound for as long as possible. Though relatively simple, building a deck frame and the decking will take some time. It would be much quicker and easier to get a professional in to do it, who could represent more value for money.
What should I do if my deck or terrace is slippery?

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.

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.
