Tips for your garden decking design

Transform your favourite space in the garden with a practical, clean and useable space for dining, pots and paddling pools. Decking is a highly versatile surface to turn that unused, maybe unlevel, unsightly corner. Or make it the centrepiece of your garden with designs including high and low levels, steps and staircases and various balustrade designs to incorporate safety and giving it that final design element.
