Fitrite Case Study Main Contractor: Garden Scene Project Title: Circular Ebony Deck Product: Fitrite Ebony Deck
A LEARNING CURVE! Circular Ebony Deck PROJECT Clients are continually considering intelligent, attractive and unique approaches to redesigning their outdoor spaces and for this particular project, the brief was to create new and diverse areas that catered for various purposes. It was essential that the final outcome was appropriate for entertainment and relaxing, whilst obtaining the existing lawn space as an area for the client’s dogs to enjoy. The task ahead was to construct a raised, spherical deck that was not only durable, but required minimal upkeep, and would generate a stronger focal point within the garden.
CHALLENGES Spherical decks can impose difficulties as it means assembling the face and trim as a circular shape and it was the first time this contractor took on such a project.
CONCLUSION Circular decks can be achieved and with surprising ease. Using Fitrite’s Ebony Evo Deck Board meant for a low maintenance solution, but with a modern feel.
The existing silver granite paving slabs were reused which complemented the stainless steel water features, giving the garden an overall contemporary finish. Having built a segregated raised deck area meant keeping suitable lawn space that was vital for the client’s dogs. Fitrite’s Evo Deck Board has exceeded all initial expectations and proved its versatility as far as construction is concerned, possibly inspiring clients to experiment further in the future.
CLIENT FEEDBACK:
“The customer was over the moon with the final outcome of the deck and the feeling was mutual, as I had never installed a circular deck before, but always wanted the challenge. I feel that the colour and finish of the decking itself adds to the wow factor and it was easier to install than I was expecting. Great service from Fitrite as always and overall very happy with the whole process from start to finish.” Paul Kenworthy | Garden Scene
