Hi, i want to redo 2 small wooden decks and i'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good option. I've got a picture here of the decking which looks very sad now and becoming unsafe.
As you can see, it's very worn and needs tidying up. The existing deck looks like it's tongue & groove boards with a bitumen membrane stuck over it and then pebbles thrown down which are coming loose.
Does anyone know if i can get some type of self levelling compund that i can pour straight over this that has good grip in wet weather? Do i need to form up the sides much before i pour it?
Or would it be better to rip it all up and replace with treated pine?
And can i cut off the rusted bottom brackets of the ballustrading and weld on new brackets?
Thanks for any comments.
