Our Decking course will save you time and money, even for experienced contractors.
“I’ve been installing decking for over 25 years and this course has saved me a fortune for future projects” - feedback from a recent delegate on our 2-day LANTRA-accredited decking course.
If you’re keen to improve efficiency in your business and ensure you’re working to current standards, then this is the course for you. Materials, tools and regulations change all the time (not to mention current trends) so it makes sense to brush up your skills, learn some time-saving tips and understand any new industry requirements.
Centrally located in rural Worcestershire in the West Midlands, we provide the ideal setting and environment for students to immerse themselves in practical skills training, taught in small groups by industry experts.
Taught by industry expert Karl Harrison, from the Decking Network this course always receives excellent feedback.
A perfect example of this has been on our most recent course from participant Richard at 212solutions.co.uk. Richard has been in the decking business for 25 years and his learnings were immense. More importantly he has acknowledged he will now be saving £10,000 to £15,000 a year concluding that “this course has been priceless for me”.
For two days you or your colleague will immerse yourself in all things decking-related. From installing a structurally sound sub-frame to gaining a real understanding of the physical properties of the timber as well as how to identify the correct post, beam, joist and decking spans to EC5 standards.
Don’t worry, there’ll be no time to get bored and the teaching is a mixture of classroom and practical (outdoors). As well as that practical advice and the skills, you’ll also be given the essential back-up knowledge of understanding elements such as;
Planning permission relating to a domestic decking situation
Building regulations regarding step construction
How to set out a decking structure in accordance with EC5
How to follow the decking guidelines of the Association of Professional Landscapers
All of which will enhance your business, your ability to sell your decking service and your capacity to finish jobs on time and within budget.
We work with key industry leading decking suppliers Millboard and Trex
