    I have just decked part of my garden and found that by going direct to the wood yard you miss out the 'middle man' and save a fortune.

    Suggest having a look on yell.co.uk for your local timber supplier and give them a call!

  • We have a small decked area. My advice would be to buy the lenths of wood from a timber merchant as suggested and to buy hard wood if you can afford it, avoid the square 'tiles' such as those at diy superstores.

    We also laid ous ridged-side down. I think it looks better and NO it does not get slippery when wet. Use decking oil every spring ( tinted for best effect ) and it will keep in good condition.
