Wooden decking is an increasingly prevalent option for providing outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very elegant areas which can be used year round by using additional heating and lighting. Wooden decking is commonly installed in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between inside and outside spaces. Wooden decking is available in virtually any size or shape to fit any area. Curved designs or large areas joined by pathways can produce a striking effect. Wooden decking is relatively quick to install and causes little disruption, especially when compared to alternate options like patio or paving. It can even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is necessary however to make sure that your wooden decking is structurally sound and able to take the weight of any furniture or plants that you want to use on the decking. There is a selection of types of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Normally decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will require maintenance, which generally consists of yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming popular for use in wooden decking as they are stronger 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

South Ockendon is a town and Church of England parish in the Thurrock borough as well as unitary district in Essex in the East of England, UK. It lies on the boundary with Greater London, just outside the M25 motorway. The location to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon village ended up being a place for premade houses (prefabs) suiting bombed-out homeowners of East London/West Essex in the very late 40s. Much of the original post-war building was carried out by previous German prisoners of war. Most of these were destroyed in the late-1960s when a big Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" building and construction homes-- the Flowers' Estate-- was built to change them, one more time with pre-fabricated homes, albeit of a superior design. The Lecaplan Kind B form of pre-cast concrete (large panel concrete) balcony is created in rows of 8 residential or commercial properties to a style by J C Tilley and manufactured by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations which constructed automobiles such as the RS1600. The plant was wound down progressively from the late 90's but shut completely in 2004, when the last 150 tasks were lost. The majority of the 150 employees accepted transfers to various other Ford or secondary sites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was positioned along and also west of the railway line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has currently been become new real estate estates, with street names after well-known Ford lorries in keeping with the sites history.

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.
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.
