A deck can be a really great addition to a house and perfectly link the house and garden together. Timbers like Larch and Douglas Fir are ideal for the frame, while Larch or Cedar make lovely deck boards. Here’s a short look at the process involved.
Basic layout of beams and posts, sitting on concreted metal post bases.
Joists and noggins (lovely word) going in
Cedar deck boards, screwed down
Side cladding boards going in, note the option of door access to storage space.
Balustrade, also made using Cedar.
Completed deck
A great addition to the house.
Price for decks can vary between £175 and £300 per m2, depending on; timber, balustrades, steps, height, customer input etc.
