Create a Practical & Safe Outdoor Space: Decking Balustrades and Staircases
Make your Garden a Social Space with Outdoor Decking and Balustrades
With Summer fast approaching, everyone will soon have the first opportunity in a long time to invite friends and family around. Impending garden gatherings means that practical outdoor spaces are in high demand. The most efficient way to create a useful outdoor area is with decking. A deck provides a level, attractive, and easily maintained surface for entertaining guests. Decks are generally made from either timber of composite materials with insulative properties, meaning they are not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter.

Along with the decking itself, it is important to consider the pitch of your outdoor space. The nature of decking as a level surface means that if your garden is not level stages and steps will be created by the height difference. For some, the solution to this can be to dig down, landscaping the garden into a level surface before installing a deck. Yet in most circumstance this is either impractical, too costly or both. The easiest solution is instead to create a staged effect and install a balustrade or steps along the raised edges of the deck. At Pear Stairs we specialise in balustrading, not only for staircases, but for decking as well.
