Raised Decking Projects. Why They Are Normally Only For The Proffesionals Or Very Experienced Diyer.

We explain why.

We explain why.

Raised decking can be described as any decking structure that is set above ground level. It can also be decking that starts off at ground level, but because of a slope in the ground, can soon develop into raised decking - needing the installation of balustrade railings for safety aspect.

Normally, raised decking will need a couple of people to build it - certainly in the early setting up stages. It is possible for an experienced DIY person to do the whole job un aided. For safety reasons, we discourage this, for there are many opportunities for accidents when building raised decking - alone or assisted.

Raised decking can certainly add a new dimension to outside living - either as a high balcony, or as a step out at same level from living room onto a level surface!

Raised decking

If you are not experienced in DIY carpentry, please forget about building the raised decking by yourself. No ifs. No buts. Don't do it! The exception could be, if you are to build decking that starts off from ground level and then 'levels out' a stretch of uneven or sloping ground.

If you can build most of the raised decking sub-frame by standing on the ground, then it should be a project capable of being done by an experienced DIY person. If you need to use ladders and scaffold support, then it is NOT a job for a weekend amateur.

On sloping ground, extra care has to be taken when trying to cart heavy decking and joist timbers about, in preparation for your raised decking.

A high balcony with substantial staircase, is NOT a job for the confident DIY person. Raised Decking Balconies like this are essentially for professionals.

This type of Raised high level decking requires a considerable amount of skill and experience, together with engineering skills not normally within the realm of the amateur.

Raised decking projects sometimes require planning permission and also building controls adherence.
