A survey of independent estate agents, commissioned by Almura Building Products, has found that decking is one of the easiest ways to add value to property. In the national survey, over 75% of agents recommended installing decking to increase returns. The survey also revealed that decking is most popular amongst 20-30 year olds, who are either first time buyers or renters. Decking can be used as a practical tool to emphasise another area of the garden, or perhaps even to hide undesirable terracing or a part of the garden that has always refused to grow. Respondents also recommended never laying decking directly at the exit to the house, but instead to find a suntrap in the garden and place it there. This area can also be ‘dressed up’ with lighting and small features to show it to the best advantage. |
