NEW DECKING

    We are thinking to build a decking at our back garden, probably by outselves (its normally working out cheaper I believe). Just wondering if anyone can recommend a best & cheap place to buy decking material. Also is it better to your soft wood or hard wood decking? Also as we have no previous building experience we would appreciate if someone can recommend a reliable & cheap builder/company to make a decking for us if something goes wrong as an option. Thanks for any replys.

    P.S. I have seen decking tiles recently but not sure if they are easy to fit in comparisone to standard decking boards. Does anyone knows? Thanks

    Brookes on the ballysimon road.

    was in there last week and they had 16ft lenghts outside. I remember them being half the price of this time last year.

    Just something for you to consider, my parents put down a deck maybe 5 years ago at this stage and they went with a composite material rather than actual wood. It doesn't need treating every year, doesn't go green and slimy and theres no splinters or anything like that! I know it did cost a good bit more but its completly maintenance free apart from a quick powerhose after the winter to freshen it up!!

    Not sure who they got to do it, but it looks something like this.... http://www.betterdeck.ie/compositedecking.php

    Thanks for suggestions, I've sent them an email even thought I was told its quite expensive and we are on the budget here trying to save as anyone around I guess. Would be interesting to see what price they'll come up with. Will post when find out. Wood decking is our first choice for now anyway.
