Decking

Posted by David West, on Tue 16 Apr 2019 05:29pm

I have a 4" concrete base laid. Can I fix composite decking boards straight onto the base or do I have to build a frame. Thankyou

Hi David, you can buy composite decking joists to support your new composite decking. By fixing the joists to the concrete pad you can then secure the decking down using the secret fixing clips.Making for a better job all round..

Hi David, I would suggest it is always a good idea to raise it off the ground level to allow any water to run away.
