I've never had it done but there must be different qualities and even where it's to go down some places must be more difficult than others.
Isn't decking a fad that's on it's way out.

Ripped all the decking out that was here when I bought the house

Nightmare

Mice nesting under it, slippery as hell in the winter, and cost a fortune every year in decking oil

Check on B&Q website for an idea of prices

Thanks guys, I'm not really creative and was worried about animals nesting under it, any thoughts on alternatives? Thanks

Instead of wood, you could perhaps use GRP (glass reinforced plastic) decking which is widely used for industrial open grid flooring in water treatment plants etc. It would cost a lot more but would be fairly maintenance free and would not rot.
