Timber decking 3rd edition (Ebook)

Timber decking provides best practice and practical guidance to ensure desired performance and deck longevity:

Timber decking is often the material of choice for outdoor seating areas, and timber walkways and public spaces are also increasingly popular. It provides a natural, durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to the traditional patio or terrace. Quick and straightforward to build, it requires less groundwork than masonry construction, while also providing a level of versatility that enables deck structures to be created on most sites.  

The third edition of Timber decking enables professional designers and deck builders to utilise the advantages of timber and avoid potential pitfalls. It addresses design, both of the complete deck and of individual components, covering timber specification and selection, construction and finishing treatments.
