Wooden decking is an increasingly common option for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Due to the natural beauty of wood, they can be very fashionable areas which can be used year round by installing additional heating and light. Wooden decking is usually 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 virtually any size or shape to match any area. Curved designs or large areas connected by pathways can create an attractive effect. Wooden decking is relatively quick to install and causes little disruption, particularly when compared to other possibilities like patio or paving. It can even be installed over the top of an existing patio. It is important however to make sure that your wooden decking is structurally sound and able to take the load of any furniture or plants that you want to use on the decking. There is a collection of varieties of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Generally decking is constructed from hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will demand maintenance, which commonly will involve annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become more popular for use in wooden decking as they are more robust and require far less maintenance.

Ullapool is a village of around 1,500 citizens in Ross and Cromarty, Scottish Highlands, found around 45 miles (72 km) north-west of Inverness. Regardless of its tiny dimension it is the biggest negotiation for lots of miles around, as well as a vital port and also vacationer destination. The North Atlantic Drift passes Ullapool, regulating the temperature. A couple of Cordyline australis (New Zealand cabbage trees) are expanded in the town and are typically incorrect for hand trees. The community rests on Loch Broom, on the A835 road from Inverness. The Ullapool River moves through the village. On the east coast of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society. It was created by Thomas Telford. Before after that the town was just a trivial hamlet of simply over 20 families. The harbour is still the edge of the community, used as an angling port, yachting haven, and also ferryboat port. Ferryboats cruise to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides. The village was historically in Cromartyshire, a county comprised of numerous separate enclaves spread throughout north Ross-shire. Cromartyshire was eliminated as well as integrated with surrounding Ross-shire in 1890. Many of the crucial discoveries of the Victorian age that contributed to the growth of the concept of plate tectonics were made in this field, and there are still routine global geological seminars. It is called the leading geological hotspot in Scotland. Parliament granted permission in the 1890s for a railway from Ullapool to the major Highland network at Garve, yet the plan was abandoned due to insufficient funds. The name is perhaps originated from the Norse for "Wool farm" or "Ulli's farm".

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.
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.
