Faq’s about Garden Decking
What are the most common materials used for garden decking?
The most popular decking materials are softwood (e.g. pine), hardwood (e.g. oak), and composite decking (a blend of wood fibres and plastic). Each has different aesthetics, durability, and maintenance needs.
How long does garden decking last?
With proper maintenance, softwood decking can last 10–15 years, hardwood 20–30 years, and composite decking up to 25–30 years or more.
Is planning permission required for garden decking?
In most cases, no planning permission is needed as long as the deck is no more than 30cm above ground level and doesn’t cover more than 50% of your garden. However, check with your local council for specific guidelines.
How much does it cost to install decking in the UK?
Costs vary by material and size, but on average:
- Softwood: £70–£100 per m²
- Hardwood: £100–£150 per m²
- Composite: £120–£180 per m²
Prices include labour and materials.
What’s the difference between wood and composite decking?
- Wood decking offers a natural look but requires regular treatment.
- Composite decking is low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and often more durable but comes at a higher upfront cost.
Is decking slippery when wet?
It can be. Anti-slip coatings, textured boards, and proper drainage can reduce the risk. Composite decking generally has better slip resistance than untreated wood.
How do I maintain my garden decking?
- Wood decking needs regular cleaning, staining, and sealing.
- Composite decking requires simple cleaning with soap and water.
Sweep debris and check for signs of wear or rot at least once a season.
Can decking be installed on uneven ground?
Yes, decking is ideal for sloped or uneven gardens. A raised or multi-level design can create a flat, usable space without major landscaping.
How long does decking installation take?
Installation time depends on size and complexity, but most standard garden decks can be installed in 3–5 days.
Can I install garden decking myself?
DIY installation is possible for experienced DIYers, especially with softwood. However, for larger or raised decks, professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and compliance with building standards.
