Wooden Decking in Wallingford

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 fashionable spaces which can be used year round by adding additional heating and lighting. Wooden decking is frequently installed in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between inside and outside spaces. Wooden decking can come in any size or shape to suit any area. Curved designs or large areas linked by pathways can create a stunning effect. Wooden decking is fairly quick to install and causes minimal disruption, particularly in comparison to alternatives 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 want to use on the decking. There is a collection of varieties 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 demand maintenance, which typically includes annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming popular for use in wooden decking as they are more robust and require much less maintenance.

Wallingford

Wallingford is a historical market town and also civil parish situated to the south of Oxford on the River Thames in England. Historically located in the county of Berkshire, it was moved to Oxfordshire for the purposes of administration in 1974. Wallingford is positioned 12 miles (19 kilometres) north of Reading, 13 miles (21 kilometres) south of Oxford and also 11 miles (18 kilometres) north west of Henley-on-Thames. The community's population was 11,600 in the 2011 census. The community has played an essential role in English history starting with the surrender of Stigand to William the Conqueror in 1066, which resulted in his taking the throne and the production of Wallingford Castle. The castle and the community took pleasure in imperial condition as well as prospered for much of the Middle Ages. The Treaty of Wallingford, which ended a civil war referred to as The Anarchy in between King Stephen and Empress Matilda, was signed there. The town then entered a period of decline after the arrival of the Black Death and befalling of favour with the Tudor monarchs prior to being called on once again during the English Civil War. Wallingford held up as the last continuing to be Royalist stronghold in Berkshire before surrendering after a 16-week siege. Fearing that Wallingford Castle could be used in a future uprising, Oliver Cromwell bought its damage. Ever since Wallingford has come to be a market community and also centre of local commerce. At the centre of the community is a huge open market square with the war memorial and 17th century arcaded town hall to the south, the Corn Exchange theatre to the east and also countless shops around the sides. Off the square there are alleys as well as roads with even more shops and also a number of historic inns. Although it was a town, Wallingford once had 14 churches; now, there are three ancient churches within the Church of St Mary-le-More and also St Leonard, a modern-day Roman Catholic church, a Quaker Meeting House dating from 1724 and also Baptist, Methodist and neighborhood churches.

FAQs

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 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.
How much is decking?
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.
