We had a large TimberTech deck installed last year ( in Michigan) and are now unable to use it. The decking has buckled and warped so badly one can not safely walk across the deck withour fear of injury. We have had a TiberTech rep out to assess the problem and, of course, he feels that the installer did not leave enough space for ... Read the complete review

After a lot of thought my wife and I decided to install Timbertech decking in our garden- it has really paid off. Although the initial cost was more than normal timber decking, the quality of Timbertech is worth paying for. A year later our decking still looks as good as new- and that is without any extra maintenance! Our ... Read the complete review

They'll offer you free advice on decking - and get you planning consent if you need it, which you generally don't, as I found out. Also, if you just want them to design the deck for you, so that you can build it yourself, then they'll just do that ... Read the complete review

Having just started overhauling our garden we are now trying to decide what to do with our patio. Everywhere we look at the decking seems to be the answer but how long for? If I were to spend a small fortune decking out my patio, for how long would it be considered hip and trendy before it goes the same way as rockeries, crazy paving and ... Read the complete review

I have a really small garden which was patio and grass. However the grass was more mud because of two small kids and a climbing frame. It was constantly full of cat poo which is disgusting as well as unhygienic. So, last year, my dad offered to deck and patio the garden. Best thing ever. I walk straight out onto my decking ...

I don't like using creosote because of its harmful effect on soil, birds and insects. The last creosote substitute that I bought had the ... Read the complete review
