Wooden Decking

Wooden decking is an increasingly fashionable option for providing outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the natural beauty of wood, they can be very elegant areas that can be used year round by using outside heating and illumination. Wooden decking is commonly fitted in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces. Wooden decking is available in any size or shape to accommodate any area. Curved designs or large areas joined by pathways can create a stunning effect.Wooden decking is relatively simple to install and causes little disruption, particularly in comparison to other possibilities like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of an existing patio. It is vital however to be certain that your wooden decking is structurally sound and able to take the weight of any furniture or plants that you want to use on the decking.There is a selection of species 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 demand maintenance, which typically consists of annual cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods have become more popular for use in wooden decking as they are stronger and require far less maintenance.
