Decking
Subframes
Installing a new wooden subframe is an essential step in ensuring a durable and stable structure for your decking. We install robust wooden joists that will form the backbone of your subframe; these are always pressure treated timber to resist rot and expansion. Once the joists are positioned and securely fastened, a protective membrane over the area to prevent moisture buildup is preferable. Concrete or wooden support legs can be added beneath the joists to provide additional stability, especially in uneven ground conditions. Finally, it's crucial to apply decking tape over the joists' tops to guard against moisture penetration and prolong the lifespan of your decking materials. By following these steps, your new wooden subframe will be well-equipped to support your decking for years to come.
COMPOSITE DECKING BOARDS
Composite decking boards offer a myriad of benefits that make them an increasingly popular choice for outdoor spaces to really give your garden that modern look. Firstly, they are highly durable and resistant to rot, fading, and pests, ensuring that your deck retains its appearance and integrity for years to come. Additionally, composite boards require minimal maintenance compared to traditional wood, as they do not need regular staining or sealing. They are also eco-friendly, made from recycled materials, which reduces waste and promotes sustainability. Furthermore, composite decking provides enhanced safety features, with many options including slip-resistant surfaces. Overall, composite boards represent a long-lasting, low-maintenance, and attractive solution for enhancing outdoor living areas.

Wooden decking can also be used for steps or ramps to improve accessibility into garden outbuildings or onto raised areas.
