It is an unusually shaped garden and the goal was to maximise the usable floor space. The clients selected softwood decking from Jacksons Fencing. We recommended their heavy duty decking, which is slightly thicker than most softwood decking products available in the UK. This decking includes their Jakcure 25 Year Service Life Guarantee.

The Framing is also from Jacksons Fencing and comes with the same guarantee. We lifted the decking frame off the ground using Millboard Duolift Risers, which are made of rot proof plastic, making the structure as protected from the natural elements and insect attack and rot as possible.

We installed Smooth Redwood decking throughout the area and oiled it. 

The big advantages of using smooth decking are:

1. Easy to clean.
2. Easy to oil annually. Just use a roller as you would do painting a wall.

Cleaning is a breeze with either a blower, garden vacuum, broom, or even a mop and warm water. Grooved decking collects dirt and airborne seeds which results in fast growing moss across the surface. If pressure washing, ensure you use a low pressure setting and keep the nozzle 60cm/2ft awatly from the timber.

The oil will have a smoother finish than any reeded/grooved decking where the oil will flow down into the cavities leaving you with dark lines across your decking. It can also be sanded smooth at any time if refinishing is required.

We finished the exterior with a connecting bench seat to close in the planting and steps on 2 sides.
