For smaller terraces, we try to stick to dimensions that are calculated to avoid waste of materials. As an example:

Mini: 2.4x2.4m;
Medium: 3x2m;
Max: 3x2.4m;
Large 4x3m;
Huge: 4x6m.

But these are not limits, with every client we discuss size and we adapt terrace size to your needs. Yes, we mostly specify on small/medium terrace decks, because of size, they can be built and delivered as a mobile or modular structures. And everything build in workshop will be better quality, more precise.

But You are welcome to order your desired terrace deck size.

Step 2: Selection of materials

The choice of terrace deck boards has the biggest impact on the look of your terrace deck. However, not only the visual aspects should be taken into account, but also factors such as the longevity of the board, rot protection, care of the terrace boards. We offer terrace deck boards made of various materials. We currently offer:

Pressure-impregnated terrace deck boards;

Heat-treated terrace deck boards;

Composite terrace deck boards;

Siberian larch terrace deck boards.

We only use stainless steel screws for the terrace deck boards, they stand the test of weather differences best, they don't rust and they are also flexible which means the screws can withstand movement in the structure.

This choice of boards also determines the biggest price difference for decks, as well as their lifespan.  Read more about types of wood here:

Step 3: Choosing a color

We offer customers to choose one of the standard color tones, and it is also possible to mix any desired tone according to the color catalogs. Each decking board is painted once before it is screwed to the frame and once after all the boards are assembled. In other cases, it is painted a third time to achieve the desired tone. Composite boards are offered in ready-made color shades.

We use  weatherproof oils for wood. Oils that protect wood against the effects of weather conditions, which soaks well into the surface. The oil gives the surface hydrophobic and dirt-repellent qualities, improves wear resistance, accentuates and preserves the natural texture of the wood. The oil contains active substances that prevent the spread of mold and aquatic plants on the surface.

Step 4: What is the base for the terrace deck?

We offer different options for deck installation:

Screw piles;

Concrete paving slabs;

      For small size terrace decks we also offer:

Small industrial wheels.

Terrace frame structure

  • We assemble terrace deck frames only from sertified C24 pressure-impregnated (3-class) timber, C24 is a certified material intended for load-bearing structures, the material has the greatest strength. Pressure treated lumber is slightly more expensive than untreated wood, but greatly extends the longevity of the wood and reduces potential risks of biological damage.
  • We treat the terrace deck frame from the bottom and top with waterproofing materials (bitumen mastic and waterproofing tape) so that the structure lasts longer. Geotextile is also stapled to the bottom of the terrace deck so that grass does not grow in the gaps between the terrace deck boards.
