Composite decking

We laid 28 square meters of decking in total in this project. We sourced it from Eurocell in Nottingham.

Another challenge on this job was leaving enough space for the tree which the customer didn’t want to disturb. The base underneath the decking is about 20cm. We laid a geotextipe weed suppressed membrane underneath to reduce the opportunities for weeds to grow through. It is however permeable to water.

The site is sloping from top to bottom. We installed a handrail along the Eastern elevation as there was a small fall risk (45cm). We also added a handrail to the steps below.

We constructed two steps to get easy access to the decking which was level with the kitchen diner on a sleeping site.
