Project Story
Classic Ash Composite Decking Replacement on Causeway Avenue
DecKing replaced the old timber decking at this Causeway Avenue home in Warrington with approximately 22m² of Classic Ash composite decking. The installation includes a new timber subframe, matching fascia boards, bullnose edging and fitted composite steps down to the lawn. A continuous deck connects the rear French doors with the passage alongside the house.
The Challenge
The existing timber deck needed replacing, but the layout had to work with the garden already around it. The brick boundary wall, rear extension and established tree define a narrow passage leading to the back door. At the garden end, the raised deck needed steps to bridge the change in level to the lawn.
The new decking follows the shape of the house and retains the tree as part of the garden. This meant careful fitting around the trunk, brickwork and doorways, rather than treating the project as a simple rectangular platform.
The DecKing Solution
We removed and disposed of the old timber decking and constructed a new timber support frame. Classic Ash composite boards were fitted using hidden fasteners, with matching fascia boards covering the exposed deck edges.
Bullnose edging finishes the front of the deck and the step treads. The upper step runs across the front, with a shorter lower step leading onto the lawn. Mitred edging frames the treads and gives the changes in level a defined finish.
Alongside the house, we continued the boards through the narrow passage and formed a framed opening around the existing tree. The grey woodgrain surface carries the same finish from the back door to the main garden deck.
The Result
The completed Classic Ash deck brings the rear and side areas together, with fitted steps connecting the house to the garden. Its grey finish sits against the original red brickwork, while the established tree and planting remain part of the setting.
This timber-to-composite decking replacement shows how a new deck can follow an existing garden layout while updating the surface, edges and access steps.
