Patio / decking advice

Cyrus

Hi all

have had a nice new garden room & shed built and i want to finish it off, what i am thinking of is having the steps currently there taken out and a small but of decking all around the office, maybe 3 planks wide.

Then what i need to do is:

Make a feature or hide the air to heat pump (with trellising or something else?)
Have a raised patio or decking area covering the area to the right of the office as far forward roughly as the front of the office and as far over as the wooden fence.

the reason for this is that there is a nice sea view from this area of the garden and we would like to take advantage of that with a raised area maybe 2 or 3 feet high.

not quite sure what would look best

any ideas or recommendations of someone who could advise (i have someone to do the work)

FYI the back wall will also be covered with the same wooden fencing as to the side and we are painting it all.

Is it not going to seriously overlook your neighbours? My mum had a neighbour do this (although closer to the house) and it caused all sorts of trouble.

Make sure you get non-slip decking. By coincidence I was looking at this today:

itll be a couple of feet and the view is straight ahead not to the side so shouldnt be an issue, we will probably put some bamboo or something to increase the fence size to the right as you look
