This decking area in Bromley served several purposes. As well as providing a large decked area for general use, the decking extended the usable area of the near garden near to the house. The decking also blended into a raised patio area which was surrounded by deck balustrades. Building regulations were not 'certified off' until there was safe access egress from the new extension down into the garden. |
The deck was overshadowed by a huge Cedar tree - which had a Tree Preservation
Order, so care was required not to cause any problems or stress to the tree
during deck work.
The area before we started the decking works.
Below sees the start of the sub deck being laid - using stout 50x150mm timbers. The whole deck was elevated slightly above the old patio in order to bring the deck up to a suitable level for the existing steps and also to minimise the height between the raised patio and new deck area.
Two small staircases led down to the garden from the deck - which was slightly raised to around 600mm (2ft) at the far end.
The raised patio was given a 'decking' feel with the addition of balustrades.
A staircase led down from the raised patio to the main deck.
