Laying simple, ground-level decking may sound intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. With careful planning and preparation, you can lay decking that you’ll be proud to show off to neighbours, family and friends. Here are a few tips to get you started. Plan carefully Draw out a plan, to scale, on paper. This will help you to know how many boards you’ll need and ensure that you don’t end up having to cut anything to fit. Prepare the area Measure out the site according to your plan and hammer a peg into each corner, then tie string around each peg to help you see what you’re working with. If you’re not laying on existing slabs, dig into the ground, lifting out turf if it’s there, and check that the site is level. Then add concrete slabs for more stability or lay weed-control fabric over the ground and cover with gravel to further prevent weed growth. Build your sub-frame Since a lot of people ask this, we’ve got a more detailed guide in the FAQ below. Lay your deck boards Start in one corner of the sub-frame and position the first board across the inner joists. You want the deck board in the opposite direction to the inner joists, ensuring that it’s flush with the frame. Position any end-to-end joins between the deck boards halfway across an inner joist so you can screw both boards into the joist for stability. Make sure you keep a gap of between 5-8mm to allow for expansion of the wood. Begin to screw your deck boards to the joists. You’ll need to secure the deck board to every joist is covers along your deck frame. Use two screws for every joist. Mark where you’re going to add your screws, ensuring that they are at least 15mm from the end of the board and 20mm from the outside edges. Drill pilot holes for the screws, being careful to only drill through the deck board and not the joist. Then screw the decking screws into the holes. Continue to screw in the deck boards, ensuring you leave the correct expansion gap. You can stagger the deck board joins across the deck for more strength. Sand down any cut ends if you need to before applying decking preserver to protect the timber from rotting. Although this is a simplified set of instructions, it’s enough for you to see whether you want to attempt to lay decking yourself – and if you don’t, you can get in touch with professionals who will be happy to give you a quote.

Immingham

Immingham is a town, civil parish and ward in the North East Lincolnshire unitary authority of England. It lies on the southwest riverside of the Humber Estuary, and is around 6 miles (10 kilometres ) north-west from Grimsby. The area was largely uninhabited and undeveloped until the start of the 1900s, when the Great Central Railway started developing its Immingham Dock. The docks were linked to their major supply of labour in Grimsby by the Grimsby and Immingham Electric Railway, which opened 1912. In partnership with the advancement of the new port some wood framed, corrugated iron clad housing was developed. A number of these continued to operate into the 21st century, and one of these dated 1907 is now a listed structure. As a result of the dock development, and of post-Second World War large scale industrial advancements positioned locally, Immingham evolved from a modest place into a popular town through the 20th century. Basic housing especially increased in the town. Throughout the 1960s, the town saw the building and development of numerous new side streets, a new estate encompassed by Pilgrim Avenue, and advancements along Pelham Road. Additional growth took place in the 1970s. This included development of such areas as northwest of Pelham Road, with the village continuous to Church Lane, a brand-new estate southeast of Pilgrim Road, in addition to extra infilling to the southwest. According to the 2011 Census, the town now has a permanent population of around 9642 and it is a compact municipal region of around 1 square mile. There is a variety of leisure and social options for its residents. These feature the retail centre, a swimming pool and a golf club.
