Project Overview
In this project located in West Moors, Dorset, our client was looking to transform an underutilised, high-maintenance area of their garden into a more functional and visually appealing outdoor space. The solution was an elevated softwood timber deck, providing the perfect platform for relaxation and entertainment while significantly reducing the upkeep required in this part of the garden.


Transforming an Unused Space
The client’s garden had an area that was previously high-maintenance and difficult to use effectively. By installing this elevated timber deck, we were able to create a versatile and attractive outdoor space that can be enjoyed year-round. The elevated design also provides a better view of the garden, making the space feel more open and connected to the surrounding nature.
The pressure-treated softwood boards offer the natural beauty of wood while ensuring the deck remains low-maintenance. This transformation not only improved the aesthetics of the garden but also made it more functional, turning an underused area into a welcoming space for relaxation, social gatherings, or outdoor dining.
Why Pressure-Treated Softwood Was the Perfect Choice
Pressure-treated softwood was chosen for this project because it strikes the perfect balance between natural beauty and durability. The treatment process infuses the wood with preservatives that protect against rot, decay, and insect damage, ensuring that the deck remains sturdy and attractive for many years. The grooved design of the decking boards also provides additional grip, making the deck safe for use in all weather conditions.
By opting for pressure-treated softwood, the client was able to achieve a high-quality, low-maintenance deck that enhances their garden without the need for frequent upkeep. The elevated design, combined with the natural warmth of the timber, has completely transformed the previously unused area into a valuable extension of their home.

Client Testimonial
"I had a couple of quotes for a raised decking project for my garden. I didn't naturally go for the cheaper quote, but there was not a lot of difference in the price. Elliot of Minster Decking installed confidence in me with his knowledge of ideas and options to help me choose. Elliot and Dave worked so hard to give me a first class deck, that is every bit as good as I had hoped for. Very professional, courteous. True tradesmen. Would fully recommend to friends and family. 5 🌟"
