Decks & Decking

Decks provide a wonderful focal point to any garden, have immense aesthetic appeal and are warm and comfortable underfoot.

Hardwood is generally the preferred material, with oak, cedar, ipe and balau being the favourites. In recent years a number of composite materials have become available and these now offer a viable alternative to timber.

Timber can either be left to colour naturally, usually to a silver-grey, or can be re-treated annually to maintain the original rich lustre.
