Build your own decking

Following on from yesterdays spring maintenance checks including cleaning your decking – maybe you don’t have a deck but are thinking it would be a great addition to your garden! Now is the perfect time to get building.

Decking has become amazingly popular over the last ten years and for good reason. It can be built at ground level or at a height and it may even help hide a troublesome part of the garden. They make great seating areas or for BBQ’s and look great decorated with pots and plants. But most importantly a decked area:

• Offers versatile outside space 
• Can add value to your home
• Only basic carpentry skills needed to build it

Our project on building your own decking  shows you how to design and plan a basic decked area in your garden followed by instructions on how to construct your timber deck as well as giving advice on maintenance.
