About raised decking

Glasgow Decking Group builds raised timber decking for gardens that slope away from the house or sit at a different level to the rest of the plot. A raised deck creates a flat, safe outdoor area supported on posts and joists rather than resting directly on the ground.

Signs you need raised decking

If your garden slopes noticeably from the house, or you have a split-level plot with an unusable lower or upper section, raised decking is usually more practical and often more cost-effective than extensive groundworks or retaining walls.

Our raised decking options

Glasgow Decking Group designs raised decks on concrete post foundations sized to the height and load involved, with balustrades fitted as standard once the deck reaches typical raised heights. Steps down to the garden, built-in seating and lighting can all be included.

Raised Decking for Glasgow homes

Sloped gardens are common across parts of Glasgow and the wider Greater Glasgow area, and a raised deck is often the most straightforward way to create a level, family-friendly outdoor space without moving large amounts of earth.

What to expect

Glasgow Decking Group will assess the slope and ground conditions, agree the deck height and layout, and design a post and joist structure to suit. Foundations are set first, followed by the frame, decking boards, balustrades and any steps.

  1. Assess the slope, ground conditions and desired deck height.
  2. Agree the layout, including steps and balustrades.
  3. Set foundations and build the post and joist structure.
  4. Fit decking boards, balustrades and steps.

Raised Decking FAQs

Is raised decking more expensive than ground-level decking?

Raised decking generally costs more than ground-level decking because of the additional foundations, structure and balustrades required, but it is usually far more cost-effective than levelling a sloped garden with groundworks.

Do I need planning permission for raised decking?

Most raised domestic decks fall under permitted development, but height, boundary proximity and other factors can affect this. Glasgow Decking Group can advise based on your specific garden.
