please help me! we THOUGHT we wanted a nice bit of raised wooden decking to flow 'artfully' outside from our kitchen (which has wood look Amtico) to bring the outside in... as they say. turns out wooden decks rot, harbour rats and require cleaning and maintenance rather often. which doesn't really appeal, if i'm honest.
one chap suggested a composite deck material (faux wood, made mostly of plastic) samples arrived and its really rather nice to look at..
however, online again, reveals other problems with this (surfaces can flake, get mouldy and it can trap moisture in the wooden support frame and make that rot??) and so now I'm not sure whether to have a normal patio built instead of a deck. does anyone have any experience or feedback to offer me?
I'm talking about an area about 4m x 3m. please help! we've saved up the money to do this and now, after waiting 7 years, we don't actually know what we want done anymore!
