Raised Decking in Wimbledon – Southwest London


This raised deck was constructed using Yellow Balau hardwood. The underneath of the decking in the front area has been water-proofed using torch-on felt which is the same product that is used on most flat roofing in the U.K. This provides ample dry storage space for bikes, tools and paint – whatever the client used to keep in the shed!

We installed super privacy trellis and framed it with matching deck-board to screen from the neighbours. We also fitted a child gate so the young toddler can’t go wondering into the depths of the garden.

Solid timber cladding along the front of the raised decking completes the ‘wooden’ look of this deck. These are just some of the decking extras provided by the Greater London Decking Team.


Hardwood deck with storage. The broom is not just a theatrical prop. We do actually clean up after buiding our decks!

And the side pathway also benefits from the use of hardwood.
The quality of workmanship here shows through, with the decking itself and also the attention to detail with the gate and framed trellis.
