If the look of natural timber decking appeals to you but the maintenance aspect doesn’t, Knotwood’s timber-lookalike aluminium decking is the answer. “Knotwood’s aluminium decking will give you a deck that looks as if you installed it all in one piece,” says Knotwood’s Brendan Galway. This seamless effect is made possible because the aluminium is extruded, a process of pressureforcing heated aluminium through a die so that it takes on the cross-sectional shape of that die. This also means the decking can be made to your exact specifications. “When you use extruded aluminium to create a deck on the second or third storey of your home, you have a deck that doesn’t have any gaps so the area underneath is perfect for storage or for a car park,” Brendan adds.…

Designing these small spaces is substantially more difficult than large space design; not only do you have less space than in a large garden to hide the utility functions that are necessary for everyday life, such as the garbage bins, clothesline, storage areas and pool equipment, but there is also less space available to develop the mood and style of the courtyard and to create the overall appeal of the space. If a design line…
