The weather is warming up now, so it’s time to get out into the garden. But if yours is looking less than lovely, why not build a deck? A deck is a great way to update your garden – it’s low maintenance, hard-wearing and gives you somewhere to sit and relax or enjoy alfresco eating. It’s the perfect solution for covering up an ugly patio or any awkward areas where grass won’t grow.
