Wooden Decking in Seaview

Wooden decking is an increasingly common choice for creating outdoor seating areas in gardens. Due to the natural beauty of wood, they can be very elegant spaces which you can use year round by using additional heating and lighting. Wooden decking is usually installed in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking is available in virtually any size or shape to match any area. Curved designs or large areas linked by pathways can create an attractive effect. Wooden decking is reasonably quick to install and causes little disruption, particularly in comparison to alternate options like patio or paving. It can even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is necessary however to make sure that your wooden decking is structurally sound and capable of taking the weight of any furniture or plants that you would like to use on the decking. There is a variety of species of wood that can be used in wooden decking. Generally decking is constructed from hardwood, but there are softwoods available that fulfil the durability requirements. As hardwood decking will demand maintenance, which typically will involve yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become popular for use in wooden decking as they are stronger and require significantly less maintenance.

Seaview

Seaview is a tiny Edwardian resort located on the north-eastern corner of the Isle of Wight, ignoring the Solent. The town is popular with vacationers and also is 2 1/3 miles (3.8 kilometres) from the community of Ryde, where most travelers reach the island by ferryboat or hovercraft. Along with Nettlestone, it creates a civil parish of Nettlestone as well as Seaview. The High Street is perpendicular to the coast. On the seafront lies the Old Ft club, an alcohol consumption place prominent with both residents and summer visitors. The Salterns Cottages used to house salt frying pan workers. One road is named Rope Walk because lengthy sections of rope for setting up ships were laid out there. The widely known Abbey Bay is around a ten-minute walk from the village. This stretch of coastline can just be reached at low tide. It is filled with white sand as well as provides exceptional swimming problems. Furthermore, Seagrove Bay, between the town and Priory Bay, is quite preferred. A few of the largest residences in the area are along Pier Road as well as Bluett Avenue, as well as this is partly responsible for the label "millionaires opportunities". Additionally large period residences, currently mostly separated right into apartments, can be discovered in Ryde Road. In 1870, Augustus Gough-Calthorpe, sixth Baron Calthorpe, had a French Renaissance style home, Woodlands Vale, developed by Samuel Sanders Teulon. The close-by Calthorpe Road is called after the family. Seaview has several holiday homes including some with sea views. This results in a seasonal variation in the activity in the town - with lots of second-home proprietors visiting only in the summer season or vacation periods. There are two resorts, the Seaview Hotel and the Northbank Hotel. There is a club, pizza place, coffee shop, stationery shop, pharmacologist, Post office, Neighborhood grocery store, Beauty Clinic, seaside apparel store, biltong shop and also an art gallery. No Man's Land Fort, formerly part of the shore defences and now a luxury residence, shows up in the Solent one mile from Seaview. Public transport is available on Southern Vectis bus course 8, which runs in between Ryde, Bembridge, Sandown as well as Newport. St. Peter's Church the town's Church of England church integrated in 1859.

FAQs

Can I fit a hot tub on my terrace or decking?

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.

How much maintenance will a wooden deck need?

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.

How to lay decking on uneven ground?
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
  1. 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.
  2. Add a 50mm layer of hardcore and make sure it’s compact.
  3. Build the decking sub-frame as we describe in ‘How to build a deck frame’.
  4. Lay out paving slabs along the edges and in the centre of the area. This will help to spread the weight of the decking.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
How much decking do I need?
How much decking you need will – of course – depend on how big you plan your deck to be. There is an equation to help you work out how many deck boards you need. It’s a little complicated until you’ve been shown how it works, but once you know how to do it it’s easy to work out how much decking you need for any project. The equation takes into account the recommended 10% wastage and includes the expansion gaps that are required, which is between 5-8mm along the length of the deck boards (EGL, or expansion gap length) and 3mm along the ends of the deck boards (EGW, or expansion gap width) for timber. It also assumes you’re laying your decking horizontally, as if you’re looking for a diagonal or chevron design you’ll need more deck boards. Let’s go through an example, assuming you have a 10m x 6m area that you want to cover with decking made from timber boards that are 2.4m long and 144mm wide. We’ll use the EGL of 5mm and EGW of 3mm.
  1. Calculate the surface area for your decking Multiply the length (L) of your decking area by the width (W): L x W = Decking Surface Area (DSA) in m2 10 x 6 = 60m2
  2. Work out the coverage of your deck boards Add your deck board width (DBW) to the expansion gap length (EGL), then add the deck board length (DBL) to the expansion gap width (EGW). Then multiply these numbers. (DBW + EGL) x (DBL + EGW) = Single Board Coverage (SBC) 0.144m + 0.005m = 0.149m 2.4m + 0.003m = 2.403m 0.149 x 2.403 = 0.358m2
  3. Calculate the number of deck boards you need Multiply the SBC by 1.1 to allow for 10% wastage. Then, divide the DSA by the SBC. DSA / SCB x 1.1 = Total number of boards required 60m2 / 0.358m2 x 1.1 = 184.36 boards – so round up to 185 so you’re not left short.
If that all seems a bit complicated for you, let a professional do the maths – they will be able to give you an idea of how much decking you’ll need in no time.
