Large ground level shaped garden deck. The Top Deck Decking team worked with the client to ensure the right design, and included deck lighting at the installation. The picture sequence shown, will help you to build your own deck. A single level decking pathway and deck patio all around the rear of the house. Use proper construction joists - 6x2 (150x50mm) to ensure that your deck will not have too much 'bounce'. Get the sub deck frame right in the first place. Jack it into position temporary and then once you are absolutely certain that it is right, go ahead and and concrete the supports into the ground.

Day 6 >>> Tuesday 6th June 2006. The deck is all but built. Just a bit of clearing up to do.
