Hello,

Please excuse me if this is an old chestnut but have not monitored this
group before.

Am looking for some advice on the advantages/disadvantages of types of
decking.

Am planning a patio and path scheme for the garden.

Have priced up at the local Timber yard and have estimated materials,
including joist and fixings at:-

approx. £300 Redwood Reversible (38mm x 125) and £500 (28 x 145).

Could someone kindly advise me on the pros and cons of Redwood v Hardwood
and the thickness.


Thank you in advance, Happppppppppppy Everythings,

All decking has the severe disadvantage that it is a temporary fad in the
gardening scene. A few years from now you will be much more with-it if you
don't bother to install any decking at all.
