Garden decking can be a very practical solution if you have a sloping garden or areas of your garden are difficult to use, decking can be used to level these areas this is called a raised deck compared with low level decking which is effectively used as an alternative to a patio area with garden decking being used to replace slabs. Creating an area of timber decking which has a softer feel and is warmer to the touch than stone slabs.

If you do create a raised decking area then you will most likely wish to enclose the edge of the deck with balustrade and hand railing to ensure that no one accidentally falls off. Is your garden decking areas hard to maintain? The answer is that decking needs little maintenance but it is essential to keep your decking area swept of and clean particularly in the winter months when it may have less use. A decking cleaning compound can be used if the timber gets dirty which will return the timber to it’s originally colour.

Deck cleaner is normally rubbed into the deck and washed off with water bringing the deck up to a pristine and original look. Garden decking can be fitted anywhere in the garden, examples of the locations of garden decking are most obviously immediately adjacent to the front or rear of a property to extend the living area making it one continuous area, another option is if the far end of the garden catches the afternoon sunlight you may want to create a deck at the bottom of the garden or you may have a pond, lake or swimming pool area which you might like to include decking around.

There are no hard and fast rules and garden decking can be built to your own design and you may create the appearance you desire for your garden decking situating the decking anywhere in the garden.
