Wooden decking is an increasingly common choice for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very elegant areas which can be used year round by using additional heating and lighting. Wooden decking is generally fitted in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking can come in virtually any size or shape to suit any area. Curved designs or large areas linked by pathways can create an impressive effect. Wooden decking is relatively easy to install and causes minimal disruption, especially in comparison to other possibilities like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is vital however to be sure that your wooden decking is structurally sound and able to take the load of any furniture or plants that you would like to use on the decking. There is a array of types of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Typically decking is constructed from hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability specifications. As hardwood decking will require maintenance, which generally requires annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming 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

Translating as 'lone ridge', Antrim is a town and civil parish in County Antrim in the northeast of Northern Ireland. It's in around the banks of the Six Mile Water, which is half a mile from Lough Neagh. It's the county town of County Antrim and prior to this, was the administrative centre of Antrim Borough Council. There are lots of divisions and suburbs of Antrim, a few of which are Ballycraigy, Carnbeg, Caulside, Dublin Road, Greenvale, Greystone, Islandbawn, Meadowlands, Muckamore, Newpark, Niblock, plus the Folly. Boasting a population of 20001, Antrim is categorised as being a large sized town by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. Inside this population, 23.1% were under 16 years old and 15.7% were older than 60. 48.6% of the population were male and 51.4 percent were female. A variety of buildings within the town are of historical significance, particularly near the High Street. Some of these buildings are the courthouse, a 19th-century smithy on Bridge Street, which features a distinctive horseshoe entrance, Shane's Castle and Antrim Castle, the Castle Grounds, plus the Springfarm Rath. Renovations on Antrim Market House, a 2-storey building which is 9 bays long, 3 deep, built in 1726, are presently taking place. This will contain Antrim Information Centre, relocating it from its location on the High Street, and also a multi-functional auditorium in an effort to provide an area for various functions, including theatre and music productions. Because the town is around the banks of a river, the linen industry was prominent in Antrim, though this was impacted by the decline in the industry during the 20th century. It has been replaced by Northern Ireland's Technology Park. For all your property upgrades, make certain that you employ trustworthy pros in Antrim to make sure you get the best quality.

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.
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.
Yes, although you should make sure that the terrace or decking is able to support the weight of a hot tub. Usually, you will need to have a structural survey carried out on the area. Seek the advise of a hot tub retailer or installer about the logistics of installing one at your property.
