CREATIVE DECKING PROVIDES
STUNNING SOLUTION FOR SLOPING GARDEN
Leading timber-decking range Arbordeck™ has
been specified by Mansfield
deck-building company Distinctive Landscapes to
create an attractive
deck terrace on a refurbished 17th Vicarage in
Epperstone, Nottinghamshire.
Despite being surrounding by open countryside,
the property was in need
of a useable outdoor living space. In order to
maximize the potential
of the surrounding sloping garden and compliment
the contours of the
landscape, the deck terrace has been built up to
a height of 1.8 metre
with access provided by an attractive staircase.
Designed and installed by Timber Decking Association
member Distinctive
Landscapes and consisting of Arbordeck's(tm) grooved
deck boards and
contemporary handrails system, the deck terrace
creates a seamless
transition from house to garden by being built
around a stylish
conservatory.
The deck has also been designed to be sympathetic
to the rural surroundings and holes have been made
in the deck to accommodate the
existing trees in the garden. The simple one-level
design of the deck is
also in keeping with the character of the period
property and provides
residents with an elegant and functional outdoor
living area.
