| All of our decks are supported by a robust 'sub-deck'
system. As with most things in life - and certainly with construction - the
foundations are all important. We do not use the flimsy 'deck-bearer'
timbers that are available from DIY's etc. We use construction strength, tanalised
decking timbers, similar to construction timber
found in your house.
Our sub-deck is typically framed by 150x50mm (6x2in) joists, and then the 100x50mm (4x2in) deck bearing timbers are bolted to this. The 4x2in timbers are similar to those holding your house roof up!

All timber is Tanalith treated, and all cut ends are sealed with a proper end grain sealer - giving it a guarantee against rot for 15 years. No further treatment is required after installation. Any bolts or screws used, are exterior grade - galvanised - to proof against rust. Nails are 'grab nail' inserted (for keeps) with 'powergun'.

Our decking surface timber is high quality
Scandinavian softwood. The Scandinavians have been using it for years!
Again, the timber is Tanalised pressure treated against decay - 15 year
guarantee - and all cuts are 'end-sealed' to ensure that the guarantee is
validated. The decking timbers are firmly held in place. Our decks are made to last and to stay
precisely where we put them!
The deck surface timber measures 150x38mm - Sturdy. |
