What to consider when adding decking to your Lanark home

Making changes and improvements to your property should always be done in a way that means they are an effective and welcomed addition. They need to be versatile and usable, without compromising on looks and appeal.

Decking is a fantastic addition to any garden, providing that it is designed well, with your needs in mind. This is why we have produce this handy guide for use when creating your decking at your Lanark home;

What will you use it for?

It is important to consider how you will use the decking at your Lanark home as this will no doubt, have an impact on its size, shape and so on.

For example, if it is an area where the kids will play, you may want it attached to your property or within sight of the house; you may want it to be fairly large and with a balustrade running along the edge of the decking.

Or it may be a safe that will be a relaxing haven of peace and tranquillity, somewhere where you will enjoy an afternoon of reading the latest blockbuster or enjoying some well-earned downtime in the garden. If this is the case, you may feel that the decking doesn’t need to be big, but you would like plenty of detail in it.

Where will you put it?

As we have seen, the location of the decking may depend on its use but there are others factors such as;

• You might want to make a section of the garden more usable such as building the decking over a slope or in a shaded area etc.
• You may want to create a section in the garden as a retreat away from not only your property, but also not be overlooked by neighbouring properties.

Decking can be built almost anywhere but if there is a lot of preparation, then this will add to the cost.

What is your budget?

Clearly, if you have intricate and complex ideas for your decking, then you will need the budget to match but, decking, in terms on an improvement you can make to your garden, is probably one of the most cost effective you can make.

People like decking because it is a structure made from natural materials (unless you specify otherwise) and thus, suits their property. It can be the star of the show in the garden, or it can be built in a way that it looks part of the garden.

It can be accessorised and decorated, or it can be left in its natural state. Decking will bring so much to your Airdrie property – why not find out more by calling us today?
