Planters in Decking. Hardwood Deck with Planters.
If this deck been
just one level the client would have been overlooking the neighbours - a
common problem in many London back gardens.
With some clever design work the two decks flow nicely
into the garden to give plenty of private outdoor space. The herbs that are
planted in the custom made timber planters, are easily accessible from the
kitchen. We even fitted a large water tank beneath the upper deck to collect
rainwater to store for those dry London summers that we can apparently get!

This high
specification decking project is constructed using 90mm Ipe hardwood,
secured to the sub deck frame with stainless steel screws to give a more
‘industrial’ finish. The sides of the planter boxes can be rendered or clad
with a matching deck-board.
The lush foliage around the deck, enhances the whole
project.
Hardwood decks are not the least expensive form of
decking. Needless to say, it needs a decking professional to do justice to
the material.
