quote: True. We have re-thought it and i doubt its going to look anything like the plan, based on cost alone. We priced up the decking for the lower bit only and its coming in around £1500 and thats with the Mrs dad fitting it. | |

We have the 10-year guarantee stuff (no idea what brand or line, sorry) and unless you look after it (i.e. clean or stain it) it does look like shit after a while. Probably the same with any type though. | |

I've never understood the idea of a path that leads to nowhere? I know its leading to decking but the size of it, I cant see it being used, Just think theres a lot more you could do with it. | |

Surely that's the idea of maintenance? Like re-painting the fence etc | |

Like Colin we moved into our new build last year and will be starting the garden soon. Looking to use quite a bit of decking as we can get it cheap and the Mrs old man is a joiner so is going to lay it, plus its low maintainence. So out come the paint designs :lol: |
