Wooden Decking in Tavistock

Wooden decking is an increasingly common choice for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very fashionable areas that can be used year round by installing outside heating and illumination. Wooden decking is generally 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 suit any area. Curved designs or large areas connected by pathways can create a stunning effect. Wooden decking is reasonably quick to install and causes little disruption, particularly in comparison to alternate options like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is crucial however to make certain that your wooden decking is structurally sound and capable of taking the weight of any furniture or plants that you would like to use on the decking. There is a collection of types of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Usually decking is constructed from hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will need maintenance, which generally requires yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become more popular for use in wooden decking because they are stronger and require far less maintenance.

Tavistock

Tavistock is an ancient stannary and market town within West Devon in England. It rests on the River Tavy where its name obtains. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 12,280. Its history can be gone back to at least AD 961 when Tavistock Abbey was created, whose ruins can be seen depending on the centre of the community. One of the most noteworthy person to have actually resided in the town is Sir Francis Drake. Tavistock has lots of buying as well as home entertainment possibilities for its citizens. The marketplace proceeds to operate in the huge protected market structure, the Pannier Market; the primary market gets on Fridays, on other days the marketplace hosts specialised occasions, such as craft fairs and also antiques fairs. A Farmers' Market takes location in the Square fortnightly and has been elected Best Farmer's Market in the South West. In 2005, Tavistock was elected 'Best Market Town' in England as well as in 2006 'Best Food Town', greatly on the strength of the numerous independent food stores as well as vendors in the town and also nearby, such as a long-standing household grocer and also deli in Brook St as well as celebrity store behind the Pannier market. In July 2006, Tavistock got the name of the eastern Entrance to the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, which runs westward through the Tamar Valley and Great Consols Mine, down the spinal column of Cornwall to Lands End. A regional area group referred to as 'Tavistock Forward', have actually been discussing to take control of the Guildhall facility with police and English Heritage endorsement, with lease-back of the existing cops terminal to Devon and Cornwall Cops, while developing the Guildhall itself.

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.
