Consider these tips before starting your decking project:
Get started early
Plan ahead and decide what you want for your outdoor deck. If you start early enough, you can have a deck to enjoy for the entire summer.
Going DIY or hiring a professional
Getting the deck up all by yourself is an excellent idea, provided you have the skills, time and patience to do it. It helps if you are quite handy with tools, have a practical mind and know what materials to buy to build your deck. If not, there is nothing wrong with hiring a professional to help make your dream deck a reality.
Legal requirements
Before you start planning your deck, check with your local council to ensure you don’t need any special permits to build a deck on your property.
Deciding the size
It’s easy to get carried away when you are planning your deck. Your dream deck could be a large expansive outdoor space but decide whether you will simply be using it as a nice little nook for family evenings or entertaining and throwing lavish parties for friends. If it’s the latter, a larger decking area right from the start will be easier than trying to expand your deck later.
Safety systems for your deck
Handrails and barriers need to be added to a deck depending on its location. Decks built around pools or at a height are required by law to have safety accessories such as handrails and barriers incorporated into the design.
