This is a beautiful raised wooden decking area which we designed and constructed for Alan and Becky Carney.

This family wanted a child friendly design which they could use as an outdoor eating area.They also wanted a place to entertain their friends on warm Summer evenings. We suggested a raised, wooden decking area for Alan and Becky. Decking areas are much more child friendly than patios. Wood is a softer material to sit on or play on, especially for children. Decking also tends to be more inviting to people due to the smell, colour and texture of wood.

We raised this decked area to make it a more prominent feature of the garden. Two hand rails were built into the decking with newell posts and spindles. Railings were used so that there was no danger of the children falling off or through the decking area.

Railings are a great idea for elderly people too, they lend some support when standing looking at your landscape or when moving around the deck itself.

A large step was constructed going upto this decking, this was so that the children would find it easy to navigate and climb on to the decking. Children and elderly people find larger steps easier to climb.

This decking was completed with an overhanging edge and a deck board fascia, this left the decking looking neat with a professional smooth finish. Light coloured deck boards were chosen by Alan and Becky, wanted the option to change their decking colour at a later date with a deck staining product.

Testimonial

" Dear Andy, Thank you so much for our fabulous decking - we absolutely love it, so do the kids! We've had lots of friends over this Summer for drinks and barbys on our new decking, it's been great! Sam and Louise love playing on the decking. It's a massive relief for me knowing they can play safely. I don't have to chase after them every five minutes. We were really impressed with how quickly you completed our decking and how hard and tidily you all worked and cleaned up after yourselves. Thank you again from all of us! We have already recommended you to our friends who want some decking doing too. "
