As exciting as your decking dreams can be, there are things you need to consider before getting too carried away with planning your very first deck party. Knowing the size and style of your deck will make everybody’s life easier, as well as making sure that it is easily accessible from your home or driveway for straightforward relaxation. In addition to this, you will need to decide what size is needed. This helps with ensuring there is enough space for everything you want to do, but more importantly to guarantee you are not violating any planning laws. Most decks do not require such permissions, but it is always safe to double check with your local council.
