Wooden decking is an increasingly prevalent option for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Due to 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 usually installed in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking is available in virtually any size or shape to suit any area. Curved designs or large areas connected by pathways can create a striking effect. Wooden decking is reasonably quick to install and causes minimal disruption, particularly in comparison to other possibilities like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is important 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 selection of varieties of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Commonly decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability specifications. As hardwood decking will demand maintenance, which usually involves yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become more popular for use in wooden decking because 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

Yelverton is a large village on the south-western edge of Dartmoor, Devon, in England. When Yelverton railway station (on the Great Western Railway (GWR) line from Plymouth to Tavistock) opened up in the 19th century, the town ended up being a preferred house for Plymouth travelers. The railway is currently shut, but the Plym Valley Railway has actually resumed an area of it. Yelverton is well known for Roborough Rock - a famous mass of stone close to the Plymouth road on the edge of close-by Roborough Down, near the southern end of the landing field. It offered its name to the Rock Hotel, constructed as a ranch throughout the Elizabethan period, but converted in the 1850s to cater for growing tourism in the location. The area to the south as well as west of the roundabout at the centre of the village was worked out in late Victorian as well as Edwardian times, with several grand as well as luxurious rental properties. An area created at about the same time on a weird designed piece of land to the south of the Tavistock road is referred to as Leg o' Mutton Corner. At the start of the Second World War, an airfield (RAF Harrowbeer) was built at adjacent Harrowbeer as a competitor terminal for the air defence of Devonport Dockyard as well as the Western Approaches. A 19th century terrace of houses, now mostly converted into stores, needed to have its upper storey eliminated to supply a simpler technique. One high building which was not altered was St. Paul's Church, yet the tower was struck by an airplane, resulting in a caution light being fitted. The design of the runways is still extremely clear and although they are substantially grassed over, the many planet and block safety bunkers developed to secure the competitors from assault on the ground are all still in position. Some American airmen and anti-aircraft battery systems were posted right here during the 2nd fifty percent of the war. A plane carrying President Roosevelt landed below when its original location was fogbound.

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.
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.
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.
