Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very elegant spaces which you can use year round with the addition of additional heating and illumination.

Wooden decking can come in any size or shape to complement any area. Curved designs or large areas linked by pathways can create a stunning effect. Wooden decking is reasonably quick to install and causes minimal disruption, particularly when compared to alternatives 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 able to take the load of any furniture or plants that you would like to use on the decking. There is a range of types of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Usually decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability specifications. As hardwood decking will require maintenance, which typically will involve yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming more popular for use in wooden decking because they are stronger and require far less maintenance.

Lydbrook is a civil parish in the Forest of Dean, a city government district in the English area of Gloucestershire. It is on the north west side of the Forest of Dean's existing lawful boundary proper. It makes up the districts of Lower Lydbrook, Upper Lydbrook, Joys Green and Worrall Hill. It has a mile and also a half long main road, understood to be the longest main street of any kind of town in England. Lydbrook falls in 'Lydbrook and also Ruardean' electoral ward. This ward starts in the south eastern at Lydbrook as well as extends to the north eastern at Ruardean. The complete parish population taken at the 2011 census was 4,819. Today neighborhood of Lydbrook seems to have had its beginnings in the 13th century. In a record of a sale of trees in 1256, reference is constructed from 'the Mill of Lydbrook'. Better early notes on Lydbrook take place in a study of the Forest of Dean in 1282. The Lyd (a creek, which flows into the River Wye) developed, for part of its trips, the limit between the Bailiwicks of Bikenore (English Bicknor) and also Rywardin (Ruardean). Today numerous maps call the Lyd, Hough Brook, or Great Hough Brook, and also Just how Brook which joins the Lyd is known on modern-day maps as Little Hough Brook. Provided in the 1282 access of those who possessed grown land, William of Ludebrok (Lydbrook), appears under the parish of Bikenore, as well as under the church of Rywardin. Rather than being 2 separate tracts in varying localities, it was most likely that William's land will certainly have included the creek, thus his addition in the documents for both churches. Additionally, under the entrance for Bikenore is recorded, Robert of Stoufeld (Stowfield). Hence the growth of Lydbrook began at Lower Lydbrook. The village takes its name from the creek running its whole length - the 'loud brook' or lud creek to end up being Lyd Brook. The town developed as a site for the regional iron as well as coal markets with your houses as an encroachment into the Forest tracing the Lyd brook which provided the water required for sector and also domestic use. The advancement of the advancement, proceeded into the Bailiwick of Magna Dean (Mitcheldean), the location which became referred to as Upper Lydbrook and Joys Green. The town just became a location of population of any kind of size 17th century onwards, but grew steadily because to stay fixed for nearly a century as well as a half at a population of about 2,500 between the 1850s as well as the start of the 1990s. Nonetheless, from the start of the 1990s the community has started to gradually depopulate. One contact us to fame of the current past, which now is thankfully no more true, is that Humphrey Phelps, in his book on the Forest of Dean recalls that in the 1950s Lydbrook had the highest possible incidence of tuberculosis in England.

FAQs

How to make steps for a deck?
Unless you built a ground-level deck, you’re going to need steps to go with it. Check Building Regulations to see if you need to install handrails as well. It’s good practice to:
  • Have a step tread width of 900mm – if you don’t want them that wide, they should be no less than 760mm
  • Add a central step riser to stairs wider than 900mm to prevent them buckling
  • Add a step depth (the vertical distance between each step) of between 150 and 180mm if building your own riser, so the steps are at a comfortable depth
Getting started To build your steps for the deck, you’ll need:
  • Step treads (the actual step themselves)
  • Step risers
  • Coach screws
  • Deck screws
  • Saw
  • Drill
Make the steps for your deck
  1. Make sure the ground where you want to put your steps is level and firm. If it’s not, consider laying concrete or paving slabs to provide a secure surface for your steps to sit so they don’t sink.
  2. Grab some joist off-cuts and cut them to the same width as your step treads. Attach them to the step risers at the top and bottom using countersunk coach screws.
  3. Place the steps against the sub-frame of the deck; if you’ve put slabs down for support, make sure the steps sit in the middle of them. The longest edge of the stair riser should be on the slabs, and the short edge against the deck. Drill pilot holes through the step and sub-frame joist, then screw the step to the sub-frame with more coach screws.
  4. After drilling pilot holes, screw the treads into the risers at each end with deck screws.
  5. If you don’t want gaps between each stair, you can add joist off-cuts or deck boards. Measure the height and depth of the gap, then screw the off-cut or board into the step riser with two screws at each end.
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.

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.

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.
