David Andersen Contemporary Garden Design

It is often the way that homeowners tend to build the most basic of decks 

with little or no thought to design. The truth is, that a well designed deck 

need cost no more to realise than a basic square or rectangular shape.

The deck illustrated here has a circular theme. It is true that some time needs 

to be devoted to calculating the tapered deck boards, and the neat stone circle 

included to 'start off' the ccircular design, but the deck has so much more style 

and 'wow' factor than would otherwise be the case.

This deck has been constructed from treated softwood.(available from B&

Q etc) with the grooved pattern on the underside. The treated softwood joists 

extend out concentrically form the centre at 50cm intervals and are constructed 

as octagonal shapes to support the timber deckboards.

The clever addition here (by the clients) of a circular table adds to the sense 

of style.
