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.

	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: Heres a not very good pic of the garden: And my idea,lol: The middle section should be something along the lines of below with a step up with a couple of potted plants on there: And id like the decking colour, edges and steps to be like this: Its quite hard with the garden being on a gradient but because of that we wanted a bit of decking at the top where we can sit an look back at the house/garden even though the sun tends to be on the lower decking area pretty much all day.
