Step-by-step advice on laying a simple deck
A simple deck at ground level is a straightforward project – a perfect starting point if you’re new to carpentry.
Before you start laying, check out our guide to planning your decking project. This covers everything from decking structures to board designs, and offers an essential introduction.
Our example is of decking that is:
- Laid on flat, soft and level ground
- Laid on the ground floor, not raised
- Not joined to a building
- Without any extra touches like a balustrade or decking lights
- Designed with the boards in a horizontal pattern
If you plan to lay decking that’s raised, adjacent to a building or wall, or would like to add a balustrade, head over to our article on laying a raised deck for more information.
