both have advantages and disadvantages

Looks excellent

just watch the decking when it gets wet... very slippy!!

i prefer decking over slabs they make the garden look more welcoming

ronseal perfect finish. comes with a brush/pad on a pole.

How did you paint it?

We arent sure whether to go for decking or a patio leading out from our French doors, it will be done after the wedding, probably spring next year tbh as we wont get any use of it after August

been thinking of getting my dad one of them hoses

relocated my hose pipe outside this wek as the moron who owned the house previously decided to put it in the garage, meaning water leaked everywhere.

also bought a hozelock auto rewind hose which is brilliant. my old normal one used to tangle up all the time but this doesn,t you just pull it til it clicks and it stops, then pull again and it'll rewind.

it also rotates 180 degrees which is ideal if i need to use it out the front.

spent the weekend buying yet more flowers and pots to make it all look nice and summery.

painted the garage door and bought 2 hanging baskets which cost a bomb, and put my outside wall clock up and got the barbecue out.





also spent more on pots and plants.



need to sort my grass out and also a washing line as our current one looks crap.

Before:




After:

i've done it now, bought ronseal perfect finish (golden cedar). seems to have come up well, pictures later.

Be carefull with what yo buy. My old boss used some decking paint on his and made it extremely slippery.

Just have a look at what there is before you buy it.

ronseal decking stain, not cheap but it last a long time.

yeah i missed that offer :( hoping they'll be doing one for their bank holiday deals this weekend coming.

decking is nice until winter comes and then it might aswell be an ice rink :lol:

I want decking. :(

I just painted all my fences with Ronseal one coat, BnQ were doing massive tubs for £12 with 20% off. Got two tubs for about £20 and it did loads of panels. Ill update my garden thread this week.

Bit different for decking though,a dark mahogany(sp) stain to match the furniture would be nice

here is my decking:



whats the best product to use on it? it looks tired and crap at the moment and needs sorting out ready for summer.

pics would also be great cheers.
