Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Site Preparation: Ensure the ground is reasonably level and clear of debris. Mark out the area for your deck.
- Foundation: Position the steel-reinforced concrete foundation plinths according to the kit's instructions. Adjust their height to achieve the desired level.
- Frame Assembly: Assemble the decking support beams using the pre-fitted joist hangers.
- Board Installation: Place the pre-cut deck boards onto the frame, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Finishing: Attach the artificial grass strip around the perimeter of the deck.
Compatibility
The kit is designed to be compatible with basic hand tools. Ensure you have the necessary tools before starting, such as a saw, level, and measuring tape.
Care
- Cleaning: Regularly sweep the deck to remove dirt and debris. Clean with warm, soapy water as needed.
- Inspection: Inspect the deck periodically for any signs of damage or wear. Tighten any loose screws.
- Maintenance: Treat the timber framing with a suitable wood preservative every few years to extend its lifespan.
