  1. This is my first decking ever done so hard to say, I didn't have any issues with it. Probably need a few years to make a judgement. One thing that I notice is when you walk on it without shoes you will have your feet black, don't know if that is normal for composite decking
  2. Project done!!! Took 2 weeks, a lot more effort than I expected but was worth it.
  3. I will use this stuff https://dura-tec.co.uk/product/dura-tec-composite-decking-charcoal-3600mm-x-140mm-x-23mm/
  4. What lenght of structural screws will be good to attach joists to ledgers? 100mm or 150mm? or 125mm?
  5. No I will only attach it to slabs and concrete posts
  6. luckily I will not have many cuts
  7. Maybe I will install posts on this and a piece of dpm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255258135847?hash=item3b6e920d27:g:uYoAAOSwP9VhpOfd&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8KQ9lyn%2F7aRf0wjEG6ROLR6EyGpziqbedhz9h3jM7lk95KsOQOsWHB4PBY6cIPNVZxZ5wpjg4CVLmN94xN3E3YOqZ5pbvpRtvJHn0r9Rbg%2FpN3a51tLfTRDaVZdf4l6gxUPyWYBL3RP9EDPYfQcPqcTEXTAC%2FvIb0ICcW7dd1q8yBVHelrfRmi8Ao55OOcwChxCKr%2FZLoFnKXkJOVrZYTCDG%2FtW%2BIXm0vR3Fn%2BTK7Xlea9oKCz4GiOOIzyR1%2B1AAUK2rq8bq%2BxMjiRv40MKWhGu8tXUgHUVxnalaQ9oSWwkCs0kZN41IoSjcuEr6c%2BiJPQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBM5JXR35lg What did you use to join joists? Screws or joist hangers? My decking is a bit more complicated, 1/4 will be installed on concrete posts as seen on photo
  8. Yeah it will be expensive 😀 It will be directly on slabs, unless you know better solution?
  9. Unfortunately I already ordered and paid for timber joists
  10. Hi all, I will build composite decking at the beginning of June, 52m2, will be installed on the existing patio on slabs. Slowly preparing everything. Frame will be wooden, joists 6x2 treated tanalised c24, my question is: Is there anything I can use to extend the life of joists? Will use decking tape on top, but what about the rest? Bitumen paint doesn't have good recommendations, maybe some wood preserver? pine tar oil? or maybe normal fence paint goood enough?
