Considerations for decking :
Is the ground level or does it have a noticeable slope ? Level gardens offer the easiest conditions for laying decking , but decking works on even the steepest slope . Using Gripsure adjustable pedestals will ensure a quick and easy installation .
Do you have any existing features to work around ? There ’ s no need to remove trees , posts or other features from your space to accommodate your garden decking . Simply work around it . If there is a tree in your decking space , research the species as some trees can be very fast growing so might need much more room than you anticipate .
How close is the site to your house ? Garden decking can work well both adjoining your home and positioned further away from it . If you ’ re looking to step out from your home onto the deck , there are few important extra considerations that must be made during installation .

How much sun does it get ? The south-facing side of the house will offer the most sunshine . If you ’ re looking to avoid full sun , select a shady spot .
What ’ s the view from the site ? Perhaps you have a particularly stunning view that you ’ d like to enjoy from your decking .
How much privacy does the space afford ? Does your chosen spot offer you the privacy that you want from your neighbours and does it maintain their privacy from you ?
