    • A fad? A fashion? Or patios of the future? We at Clontarf Landscapes have been studying this question for the past five or six years in particular - up to then, we built a timber deck perhaps once a year. We now construct a timber deck almost every week. The range of materials available at present makes the use of outdoor timber a reality even in our damp Irish conditions. Manufacturers are guaranteeing their products for 15 years and more. Every year new treatment products are becoming available that maintain that attractive finish of freshly produced timber. The days of rotting substructures are hopefully behind us (provided you get the best advice and the best construction - no amateurs for this work).

    A timber deck allows you to use your garden without having to dress for the arctic. You can walk out in your bare feet onto a warm surface. It is a much softer surface for the children to play on. It is also much cleaner that the traditional slab patio. As you can see in the photos, decks (unlike patios) can be constructed at exactly the same level as your floors inside, making the garden much more like a just another room.
