Decks – Around pools

"As with all landscaping, what you don't see is just as important, if not more, as what you do see. The posts, joist and bearers need to be well engineered so that your outdoor investment will last the test of time. For that lush wood grain, I recommend finishing with quality timber oil." Alan la Grange
