Wooden Decking in Pathhead

Wooden decking is an increasingly fashionable option for providing outdoor seating areas in gardens. Due to the natural beauty of wood, they can be very elegant spaces that can be used year round with the addition of outside heating and light. Wooden decking is commonly fitted in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between inside and outside spaces. Wooden decking can come in virtually any size or shape to complement any area. Curved designs or large areas connected by pathways can create an attractive effect. Wooden decking is fairly easy to install and causes little disruption, especially in comparison to alternatives like patio or paving. It can even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is critical however to make certain 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 range of varieties of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Normally decking is made of hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will need maintenance, which usually consists of annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become more popular for use in wooden decking because they are more robust and require significantly less maintenance.

Pathhead

Pathhead is an area of Kirkcaldy, in Fife, Scotland. Pathhead was an independent village before it was integrated right into the Royal burgh of Kirkcaldy. In Jan Blaeu's map of Scotland from the 17th century referral is made to the village of Peth-heed, existing day Pathhead. With the Firth of Forth to the south, Kirkcaldy to the 'west', Dysart to the eastern, and also Gallatown, Sinclairtown and Dunnikier to the north. The town houses the historic Ravenscraig Castle commissioned by James II in 1460; a number of the former premises of the Nairn's Linoleum Factories; as well as, the Manse in which both O. Douglas as well as John Buchan grew up. It watches out over the ignored Pathhead Sands, as well as sector today is centred on Hutchison's Flour Mill as well as the Forbo-Nairn Plant. The historic centre of Pathhead is a triad of streets running parallel with the shore: Nether Street, Mid Street as well as what made use of to be Back Street, now Commercial Street. Water was provided from wells at either end of Mid Street and also vivid commerce was centred on the Pathhead and Sinclairtown Reform Co-operative Society of contemporary Branning Court, which was developed in 1914.

FAQs

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.

Usually, slipperiness is caused by algae or dirt on top of the deck or terrace. A full cleaning treatment should restore the natural grip of the wood or stone. If slipperiness is a persistent problem, consider installing grip mats in high traffic areas of the deck.

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.

There are two ways to lay decking on uneven ground. We’ve explained how to build a raised deck in our FAQ ‘How to build a raised deck’ above, and that’s great for uneven ground or sloped gardens. But there’s another way that you can lay decking on uneven ground if you don’t want a raised deck: you can create a level supporting base. We’ll go through the basics here. Materials you’ll need

Paving slabs – old or cheap ones are fine
Timber for the frame and legs
Type 1 MOT hardcore

How to lay decking on uneven ground

Mark out the area as we explain in ‘How to lay decking’. Then, dig to 200mm below where you want to surface of the decking to be.
Add a 50mm layer of hardcore and make sure it’s compact.
Build the decking sub-frame as we describe in ‘How to build a deck frame’.
Lay out paving slabs along the edges and in the centre of the area. This will help to spread the weight of the decking.
Set the decking frame on the slabs, checking for high or low points and adding off-cuts of timber where needed. Don’t forget to sand and seal these off-cuts with decking preservative.
Add your joists and then the deck boards, leaving the recommended gaps of expansion of between 5-8mm.

Building your decking on top of paving slabs is a good way to get it level, but you still may not be able to get as good a finish as if a professional did it. If you’re in any doubt, get in contact with some decking specialists and see what they would recommend.
