Project Story
Classic Ash Decking & Fencing Transformation on Treetops Close
An ageing timber deck and garden boundary fencing at Treetops Close in Padgate have been transformed with Classic Ash composite decking, a contrasting Graphite border and matching Ash composite fencing in black aluminium posts. Follow the project from the original timberwork to the completed installation.
The Challenge
The existing deck outside the patio doors was enclosed by dated timber balustrades with a distinctive cross-braced pattern. Across the lawn, weathered timber fencing separated the garden from the paved area alongside the house. Together, the old timber features interrupted the garden’s appearance, even though the original patio, lawn and planting still worked well.
Replacing the decking alone would have left two very different styles side by side. This project called for a coordinated solution that connected the new seating area to the longer fence line while respecting the garden’s existing layout.
The DecKing Solution
DecKing removed the original decking and constructed a new, closely supported timber subframe outside the rear patio doors. The installation photographs show the joists, noggins and perimeter framing before the boards went down — the workmanship that eventually disappears beneath the finished deck.
We fitted Classic Ash composite decking with a contrasting Graphite border and fascia for a sharply defined edge against the existing paving. Along the garden-facing side, Classic Ash composite fence panels were installed between black aluminium posts, continuing from beside the deck and along the long boundary of the patio. The black posts echo the darker Graphite detailing on the decking.
The existing rear timber boundary fence and established garden planting were retained where they were not part of the replacement work. The result is a focused decking-and-fencing upgrade rather than an unnecessary complete garden rebuild.
The Result
The finished deck creates a smart, low-maintenance outdoor seating space directly outside the patio doors. Ash woodgrain boards sit within the Graphite frame, while matching grey composite fence panels carry the colour scheme all the way along the patio boundary.
From the lawn, the continuous run of composite fencing gives the garden a much cleaner appearance. From above, the aerial photographs make the design particularly clear: a compact deck in one corner and a long, coordinated fence line tying the house, patio and lawn together.
Unlike the old timber features, the new composite decking and fencing won't need regular staining, painting or oiling. It is a practical transformation that keeps the garden’s existing character while replacing the high-maintenance elements.
