Wooden Decking in Peebles

Wooden decking is an increasingly popular choice for providing outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very elegant spaces that can be used year round with the help of additional heating and illumination. Wooden decking is frequently installed in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a smooth transition between inside and outside spaces. Wooden decking is available in any size or shape to fit any area. Curved designs or large areas joined by pathways can create a stunning effect. Wooden decking is relatively quick to install and causes little disruption, especially in comparison to other possibilities like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is necessary however to be certain 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 selection of varieties of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Often decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will demand maintenance, which commonly will involve yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming more popular for use in wooden decking as they are more robust and require significantly less maintenance.

Peebles

Peebles is a royal burgh in Peeblesshire, of which it is the county town, within the Scottish Borders region. According to the 2011 census, the population was 8,376. The oldest building in Peebles is the tower of St Andrew's Church. The church was founded in 1195. It was destroyed (in addition to many other Borders abbeys and also priories) by the soldiers of Henry VIII. The stones of the damages were taken for many various other regional structures leaving just the tower standing amongst the gravestone of the churchyard. One more ancient church in the town is the Cross Kirk, established in 1261. Although currently mostly ruins, the Cross Kirk plays a prominent part in the neighborhood festival. The annual regional event in Peebles is called the Beltane, as well as involves (just like several Borders festivals) a Common Riding. The Beltane, declared at the cross, culminates with the crowning of the Beltane Queen (a woman chosen from among three local primary schools) together with her court, including the likes of the First as well as Secondly Courtiers, Sword Bearer and Standard Bearer; on the steps in front of the parish church. The grown-up principal of the celebration is the Cornet, a local boy chosen by the organising committee on a basis of being thought about deserving of representing the town, who then carries the town standard for a year. To the west of the town is Neidpath Castle, which can be reached on foot via Hay Lodge Park, the course has sights of the castle. The castle is currently near the general public. On the south side of High Street are the old burgh offices. These integrate the community's library, art gallery and also local museum. The building occupied by these are called the Chambers Institution, being deeded to the town by William Chambers, a participant of the Chambers posting family members that originated in the town. Chambers' residence can be located on the earliest street in Peebles-- Biggiesknowe. Peebles is no longer connected to the railway network. In years past, the Symington, Biggar as well as Broughton Train had lines that attached Peebles to Edinburgh and also Galashiels, with an items station and Peebles as well as Peebles West stations. Historically Peebles as well as the Scottish borders have actually been the place of several textiles companies. Still today, March Road Mills is the place of Robert Noble in addition to its sister company Replin Fabrics.

FAQs

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.

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 much decking costs depends on the type of material you go for, how big you want your decking to be and where you live in the country. But typically, the cost of decking is between £1,200 - £1,800. The most popular material for decking is pre-treated softwood, which will set you back around £1,000 for 15m². Hardwood is more expensive but is more durable, and will cost approximately £2,000 for the same amount. Homeowners are also beginning to choose composite decking, which is made from recycled plastic and wood fibres, and is low-maintenance and eco-friendly. This will cost around £1,600 for 15m², while uPVC which is also a low-maintenance option costs around £600. People tend to choose composite over uPVC because it looks more like natural timber. If you’re a competent DIYer, you might want to have a go at laying decking yourself which will set you back around £1,000 for a standard softwood timber deck. We think it’s worth paying the extra £600 for a professional to lay your decking, since they will be able to do it much more quickly. If you do want to try it yourself, we recommend leaving at least a whole weekend open to do it, but it’s likely to take you longer. Factor in the possibility of having to take time off work to complete it and it might be more cost-effective to leave it to the pros.

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.
