We have grown up with a cultural tradition of playing in our yards, gathering with family and friends on balconies, enjoying barbecues, or simply admiring the beautiful landscape.

When constructing a deck, just like any other project, it is essential to begin with planning and design. After determining the location and securing the necessary permits, the first step involves excavating foundations, typically made of concrete to provide a stable connection to the ground. Wooden beams are then installed and leveled on these supports. Next comes the precise arrangement of spacing slats to ensure uniform gaps between the deck boards. This meticulous spacing allows for the installation of deck boards, which should be carefully cut and finished at their ends for both aesthetic appeal and safety. Additionally, it's crucial to treat the timber with waterproofing or sealants to protect it and extend its lifespan.
