What Decking

[macadonald]

Hi Guys,

I have an area of roughly 3x3 metres to deck at the bottom of the garden with raised wall beds around it. Initially I was very keen on the hard wood deckign balau and Ipe, but have now accepted that I cannot justify the cost. In terms of the cheaper pine decking, can anyone advise of where to buy a reasonable quality board from?

I'm assuming that with B&Q, you get what you pay for. Wickes always advertise as using slow grown woods? Anything else?

Thanks

Thanks foxhole, but can you explain further? Ebay from a reutable dealer of timber or 2nd hand from someone selling?

Have you done this before? I would have thought that on ebay you run the risk of gettign very poor quality if you cannot view it?
