Alexandria Sydney NSWTips to Ensure Your Decking Will Stand The Test of Time
Decking is a
popular option when it comes to extending living spaces, since it can serve
multiple purposes. Whether you need extra space for entertaining friends or a
cosy nook for relaxation, building a deck is surely a great way to maximise an
unused outdoor space.
If you
are planning to build your own decking, you may want to read up on these things
first to help ensure a successful project.
Should you do your own decking?
Many DIY
guides will tell you it is easy to build your own decking. However, if you are
not particularly skilled at doing carpentry or building work, it is always a
better idea to get a professional builder to do the job for you.
To ensure the
right decking for your budget and lifestyle needs, you will also need knowledge
about decking materials. Should you go with a sturdy yet expensive timber decking,
or should you opt for a relatively cheaper, maintenance free composite deck?
While there is
freely available information about decking materials, it takes years of
experience to actually know which products will stand the beating from the
harsh elements. That said, even with the proper knowledge it is always advisable
to get an expert builder to do the job for you.
A deck builder
will not only help you choose the right materials, but will also advise you on
ways to prolong the life of your decking. Additionally, an expert knows the
various regulations that cover decking installation, so you can be sure that
your project won’t violate any building codes.
Where to find a decking specialist
Getting
referrals from friends can help when looking for a decking specialist. But, you
may also want to look up local deck builders through directory sites like Oneflare.
The website provides
a list of trusted tradespeople who are guaranteed to have valid licences,
permits, and insurances to operate. Genuine client testimonials are also
available to help you find a contractor that is easy to work with and can
interpret your design specifications.
How much should you budget for
decking?
Your budget
will primarily depend on the type of material you will use. The size of your
decking and the design requirements may also affect its costs.
If you want a
better picture of how much you should set aside for your decking, get a quote
from the contractors you are considering and compare their prices. Make sure to
check what’s included in their price so you can avoid unexpected costs.
Most
importantly, do not forget to have your contract in writing so you can hold
your contractor to it.
