Mark Jehan is your man. Quality decking and does a good job. 0533 848 3699. He made a decking area around our pool and it looks superb. Give him a call.

When I was in the B & Q garden centre last week, some old guy in an orange apron came up to and asked if I wanted decking.



I still managed to get the first punch in, that sorted him out, cheeky sod!

Decking looks nice but I would think that in this heat it will take a fair amount of upkeep.

treat it each year with a mix of half diesel and a cheap olive oil.

cliff,

Are you serious?

I treat mine twice a year with some stuff from TAYF (AKA Marshalls) that costs A FORTUNE!

Hi cliff,



Are you serious, diesel and cheap olive oil, it will stink for weeks. Oh! and don't drop a match.

I have seen a new type of decking that is plastic mixed with wood. It looks absolutly superb and does not need any upkeep. I am not sure who sells it but it would be worth looking into

We use Sadolin clear hardwood oil for our deck which was put in by Mark Jehan. It looks fantastic. We bought it from Coban trading.
