There was an old timber deck in position which had seen better days. The plan was to install a low maintenance deck, in almost an identical position to the previous Decking, lowering it by approximately 15cm to incorporate one more row of the paving steps coming down from the back patio.

The main reason the old decking had failed was the frame, it was timber, it had an out of date support method which relied fully on the connecting screws bearing all of the weight, and the joists were too far apart. All timber frames will eventually rot on low level decks in the UK, it is just a question of how long it will take.

To avoid those occurring again, the clients opted for a composite frame which is rot free, This frame was set onto several rows of composite bearers, which were seated on composite posts cemented into the ground.

The decking itself is Millboard Enhanced Grain Decking in their Golden Oak colour. This gives a light, natural looking finish which is easy to clean, has very high slip resistance, and comes with a 25 year warranty,

When you combine Millboard Composite decking Boards with a Millboard composite frame the result is a lasting installation which they will be enjoying for decades,

The lower section was a straight swap with a removal of decking and framing, and installing new composite framing, luxury Timbertech decking, and new lighting.

The upper section required a fair amount of work to build the new frame and turn the single deck ledge into a ledge which could also double as a seat. In small London garden you have to design everything for multiple uses to maximise the space.
