Foundation Supports For Garden Decking
Nothing spoils a new deck more than weeds growing through cracks in its boards, so before you start clear all vegetation and turf from the area and spray weed repellent.
The Timber Arrives
Your decking boards and timber for posts and supports can be bulky and take up a lot of room. Make sure that you have somewhere to store them before delivery, and also ensure there is working space around the timber.
You often have to sort through your timber in order to find exactly the right piece, and then it has to be cut to size!
Next, you must compact and level the ground. To allow for drainage, you can leave a gentle slope towards the outer edge of the deck.
Finally, lay a weed-suppressing membrane over the ground.
