The increase in popularity of garden decking

Over the last 10 years the number of people choosing to build garden decking instead of laying a concrete patio has grown enormously. This change is thought to have been fueled by programmes such as Ground Force and gardening magazines setting trends within the gardening world.

Decking is big news when it comes to outdoor living. The trend isn't even just confined to the summer months as people are seeing their decking as another living space or another room attached to the house and therefore the decking brings life to their garden all year round and a place to entertain and dine.

Many people use their decking every day throughout the summer, so it is well worth spending the time and money to get the perfect decking design to work best for your garden. There are many decking kits available on the market but it may be worth personalising your decking to your garden style. The price of garden decking varies according to individual needs but on average it is between £300 and £1,000.
