Probably the most successful, decorative and eye-pleasing way to extend your home into your garden is with a well made deck. In Thailand, hardwoods are available, but wood plastic composite (WPC) decking materials have improved over the years and are now a great option if you are thinking of adding modern decking for your Bangkok garden.
In this project the owners had a nice home on an estate on the outskirts of the city. There nice garden was full of tropical plants and trees, but they were interested to expand their living more permanently into the garden area.
Solving Space Issues
Decking offers a great solution for this in Thailand, as the deck is raised above ground levels by 20-30cm , so excess water or muddy grass is always avoided if stepping from inside to outside.
Umbrellas and shade structures are also easily placed on a good sized deck, as well as BBQ equipment, or furniture for sitting and socializing.
The team install wide and deep concrete footings, and construct a galvanized steel framework that will support the top deck boards. Edges and gaps are closed, to ensure any creepie’s don’t decide to live underneath this new shelter.
All fixtures fitted are stainless, ensuring no rust issues in future. These decks are really built to last. The deck boards are 100% termite free.
There are several colour options, from classic oak brown, to the version in this project (grey) to golden yellow and various other brown tones. As mentioned before, the decking is really a great way to expand out into the garden area, and thereby increasing home size by many SQM.
