The whole garden was turned into a deck, but with added timber planters which
will be filled with palms, bamboos and other similar plants to give a secluded
decking area. The original idea was to have a split level deck - just a step
down - but this would have simply created two smaller decks without the
versatility of having a huge single room deck. In any event, as the client was
very keen on planting for around the deck and for some decking planters, then
the area could be sub-divided as and when desirable.
The planters were constructed of sturdy 150x50mm
(6x2in) timbers and then clad with decking - at verticals - to bring the whole
decking project to a satisfactory conclusion.
The decking area was constructed as a single level
deck - giving so much versatility for future use of the decked area.
