Timber decks offer a natural and attractive
outdoor living space for dining, entertaining or simply relaxing.
For an alternative to a patio, a
timber deck is a useful addition to your garden. Design and construction is
relatively easy - all you need to do is construct a frame from joists and add
deckboards to create a flat patio. Additional posts, handrails and spindles
create the complete deck look.
Manufactured from
pressure-treated timber, decking components are completely protected against
decay and insect attack and come with a 15 year warranty, ensuring long-term
enjoyment from your new deck.
Before your start... SAFETY FIRST
Wear work gloves to avoid splinters,
and safety goggles to protect eyes when using power tools. Dispose of treated
wood off-cuts as ordinary household waste. Treated wood should not be burned in
open fires, barbecues, stoves or fireplaces. Avoid inhaling sawdust.
re-treated wood is
perfectly safe and poses no risk to people, animals and plants, and is safe
enough for children to play on.
Helpful TIP
Careful measuring and cutting is required when constructing a timber deck. It
would be helpful to have an assistant for some stages of the work.
