A luxury decking terrace in rich Bali brown
This Deckorators Excursion decking installation in Tring is all about long-term performance and everyday luxury. The chosen colour, Bali, is a rich brown tone that sits beautifully against the house and garden, giving the terrace the warmth of natural hardwood with the stability of a premium composite board.
Matching fascia boards complete the edges, so every visible surface is finished in the same Bali colour. The result is a clean, tailored look, from the main platform through to the steps and the split-level terrace. This is not “just a deck”; it is a carefully detailed outdoor room designed for a lifetime of use.
Premium structure beneath a beautiful surface
A high-end composite surface deserves an equally high-end structure. Under this Deckorators Excursion decking in Tring, the frame is built from UC4 treated timber. This use class is chosen specifically for components in permanent contact with the ground or in high-moisture zones, helping protect the structure for the long term.
Every joist is protected with decking tape, carefully applied along the top faces. This simple step stops standing water from sitting on the timber and greatly reduces the risk of rot at fixings and bearing points. Support posts are in recycled plastic, which will not rot or wick moisture from the soil. It is a premium solution that also supports sustainable design values.
All structural fixings are by Carpenters Mate, known for their high-performance screws and structural fasteners. Using one branded system ensures that the fixings are tested, proven and compatible with the way the frame has been designed. Nothing is left to guesswork.
Designed to Eurocode 5 and a 1.5 kN load
This luxury terrace is not only beautiful; it is engineered. The design is based on timber span tables derived from Eurocode 5 (EC5) and checked for a 1.5 kN/m² evenly distributed load, as expected for domestic decks.
By working from proper span data and design tables, joist sizes, centres and support spacing are all confirmed in advance. This means:
- The deck feels solid underfoot, with no bounce.
- The structure can safely support people, furniture and the occasional big garden party.
- The split levels and steps remain robust for decades, not just the first few years.
Because the layout is driven by engineering as well as aesthetics, every support post and beam is placed with purpose. That is the difference between a basic “thrown together” platform and a fully designed decking structure.
Split-level living: party or relax in style
The split-level design turns this Deckorators Excursion decking in Tring into a flexible outdoor living space. One level works perfectly for dining and entertaining, while the adjacent terrace is ideal for loungers, a quiet chair or a morning coffee spot.
Wide, comfortable steps link the levels and encourage natural movement around the space. The matching Bali fascia boards wrap the edges so the structure feels like a single, coherent piece of architecture rather than an add-on. Whether you host a summer party or curl up with a book, the terrace supports both energy and calm.
20+ years of Karl Harrison’s decking experience
Behind this project sits over 20 years of Karl Harrison’s experience in designing and delivering high-end decking structures. That depth of knowledge shows in the details you do not see at first glance:
- Correct joist orientation for drainage and stability.
- Intelligent use of UC4 timber combined with recycled plastic posts.
- Fixing patterns that respect the composite board manufacturer’s guidelines.
Karl’s background is in structural, long-lasting outdoor builds. He understands how premium products perform over decades, not just during the first season. That is why only trusted, branded systems are specified on projects like this: Deckorators Excursion, Carpenters Mate fixings, quality treated timber, and recycled plastic supports.
A design-led decking service for homeowners
This Tring terrace also showcases the design service that underpins every project. The process starts with understanding how the client wants to live outdoors: dining, relaxing, entertaining, or all three. From there, the team develops a structure that balances:
- Aesthetic choices such as colour, fascia details and step positions.
- Structural design to EC5 principles and domestic load requirements.
- Practical considerations like maintenance access and water run-off.
The result is a decking structure that looks effortless but is grounded in careful design and engineering. The client enjoys a terrace of beauty that feels luxurious, secure and easy to use every day.
