Sitting on a deck in the hot summer sun is a great way to spend a weekend and with our guides to fitting your decking it is not a difficult job.

For greater effect you can build in some decking lights and go to our electrical section to see how to connect these safely. Special decking screws should be used and it’s important to use decking cleaner to stop the deck getting slippy.

Non slip decking is a must for those lees sure on their feet and, combined with a non-slip decking paint you can be sure of not sliding off the end of your deck!

Decking stain will be available from our tool-store in September 2013
