17,000 Decking kits sold !

We've sold 17,000 decking kits using the DIYdeals raised & ground deck systems. Decks may be cut down and/or joined together to cover any size.
Unique design enabling easy erection - Raised off the ground by supporting on posts or rested directly on the ground - with pergola, balustrade, steps and seating as options.

Quality Pine, Pressure Treated, Ribbed & Grooved Decking Boards.

Boards are Ex 33 x 152mm giving a full 145mm (6") wide x 28mm finished thickness Pine (called redwood in the trade) available in 3 lengths 3.0m (9'10"), 4.0m (13'2") & 5.0m (16'5"), sold by the length or in kits. The "ribbed effect" side offers the better slip resistance.

Pressure Treated for long life!

All timber (decking, joists, posts, balustrade and pergola) have been pressure treated with a liquid, chromium-free wood preservative salt based on inorganic copper and boron compounds (Tanalith® E or equivalent) effective against wood destroying fungi and insects and carry the manufacturer's guarantee of 15 years. When using the metal post anchors with a DIYdeals raised deck no timber is directly in contact with the ground, where most rot occurs. As all the timber is pressure treated, with sensible preventative maintenance, the raised decks should last for 25 years.

  Raised Deck  

DIY Deals Raised Deck Kits

Our Raised Deck kits include all necessary decking boards, joists, deck screws, joist hangers, corner brackets, posts, bolts and a drill bit for the bolts. Post Anchors are also included to give a more secure, longer lasting & easier way of fixing.

The advantages of the DIYdeals design of RAISED deck kits are:

Longer life - when using the post anchors there is no timber directly in contact with the ground, where most rot occurs, and, as all timber is pressure treated, the raised decks will last for 25+ years.

Choice - We offer 45mm x 145mm (2" x 6") Planed Timber for all joists which enable strong raised decks with easier fixing of decking screws. Joists come in 4 sizes 2..0m (6'7"), 3.0m (9'10"), 4.0m (13'2") & 5.0m (16'5"), which can be cut down to suit your deck size.

No site levelling required - support joists are levelled using timber posts, (4 or more) depending on the size of the deck, which can anchored to the ground with metal post anchors (optional), which keep timber posts off the ground and ensure the deck is anchored to prevent uplift during strong winds.

 
  Ground Deck  

DIY Deals Ground Deck Kits

Our Ground Deck kits include all necessary deck boards, joists and deck screws. Corner brackets with screws are also supplied to join the joists together - these provide a stronger fixing than screws into the end grain.

GROUND decks do not require posts, anchors or bolts and require fewer joists - they are therefore less expensive than raised decks. They have the joists resting on the ground. Ground decks may use 45mm x 95mm (2" x 4") or 45mm x 145mm (2" x 6") as joists. The 145mm joists are used if the step down to the deck is high and the extra 50mm (2") deck height makes it work without the extra cost of a raised deck.

You may wish to cut these sizes down to make a smaller deck. Deck kits may also be joined together to form a larger deck.
