Building decking with British Recycled Plastic lumber is straightforward and sustainable, offering a durable and maintenance-free solution for any outdoor space. Follow these steps:

  1. Plan Your Decking Design:
    Measure the area and decide on the size, shape, and layout of your decking. Ensure you account for access points, weight distribution, and any additional features like steps or railings.
  2. Prepare the Area:
    Clear and level the ground where the decking will be installed. Install a weed-proof membrane to prevent vegetation growth beneath the decking.
  3. Lay the Foundation:
    Use concrete pads, adjustable pedestals, or recycled plastic supports to create a sturdy base. Space the supports evenly to ensure the decking is stable and level.
  4. Install the Subframe:
    UsePlastic joists to build the subframe. These joists are rot-proof and will provide a solid foundation for the decking boards. Secure the joists using stainless steel screws.
  5. Lay the Decking Boards:
    Attach the British Recycled Plastic decking boards to the subframe, leaving a small gap between each board for drainage and expansion. Use corrosion-resistant screws for secure fixing.
  6. Finish the Edges:
    Add trim or fascia boards for a clean, polished look. These can also be made from recycled plastic for a cohesive finish.
  7. Inspect and Enjoy:
    Check that all boards are securely fixed and level. Once complete, your decking is ready to use and will provide a durable, sustainable outdoor space for years to come.
