Decking materials cost

Dan-Dan

Hi all

never ever even considered decking cost before , but interested to know

I have an area 5m x 2.5 that i might wish to deck , standard stuff , what is a ball park figure for materials (DIY)

Cheers!

I done a 4x3 one last year with a rasied seating area around two edges which required much more 4x4 posts than if it were just level. Cost me just over £300 from a local wood merchant.

Same materials were around £600 from B&Q and Wickes.

Hmm , ok cheers Lee , i am stuck between some heavy rubber matting (as kids will be playing on it) that will cover the area at £250 delivered and decking it out , which i know , even if undercover , might not be quite as child friendly for playing on
