Timber Garden Decking in Aberdeen

Engineering Timber Garden Decking for Aberdeen Damp & Frost Factors
Preventing Fungal Decay in Shaded Aberdeen Gardens
Gardens in West End Aberdeen, Rosemount, and Garthdee often receive limited winter sun, causing moisture to linger on timber surfaces. We install grooved anti-slip deck profiles with 5mm drainage gaps that let rainwater run off freely rather than sitting in pools.
Joist Tape & Elevated Pad Concrete Foundations
Untreated timber subframes set on bare soil rot within 4 years due to ground moisture absorption. We elevate subframes on concrete deck pads and wrap every joist top with butyl joist tape, sealing screw holes against moisture intrusion.
Granite Soil Leveling on Deeside Slopes
Sloped plots in Cults, Bieldside, and Peterculter require deep granite subsoil excavation. We set C24 timber post supports in Postcrete concrete footings to create a rock-solid, perfectly level base that resists winter soil movement.
