Project brief #

Assess turning, joint orientation and transitions with the relevant accessibility designer. Movement gaps, drainage and mobility aids must be reconciled rather than solved independently or by calling a board accessible.

Planning and verification #

Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.

Handover and maintenance #

Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.

WPC decking for small urban gardens

A narrow garden needs a usable circulation route before a decorative laying pattern. Draw furniture at actual size, then place board joints where both ends can be supported without obstructing drainage.

Family terraces with WPC decking

Separate dining, play and circulation areas. Inspect sample edges and barefoot contact surfaces, then plan where toys, furniture and cleaning equipment will be stored without blocking escape or maintenance access.

WPC decking in shaded gardens

Shade changes drying conditions. Record leaf fall and roof runoff, leave inspection access beneath vulnerable areas, and make debris removal practical rather than relying on a maintenance-free material claim.
