Design and Build Your Dream Deck in Shercock

If you’re thinking about adding a wood decking to your garden in Shercock, we’re the local team that can make it happen. We know the weather patterns in County Cavan, the wet springs, the unpredictable summers. That’s why we use only pressure-treated, locally sourced timber that stands up to the damp and stays looking good for years. You want a deck that’s more than just a structure; you want a space to enjoy barbecues, morning coffees, and evening chats. We get that.

Our Decking Construction Process

We start with a free site visit to talk through your ideas and measure your garden. No two Shercock gardens are the same, so we work with you to plan the shape, size, and orientation of your deck. We handle every step from digging the footings to laying the boards. Need a raised deck for a sloping garden? No problem. We also build sheds in Shercock, and the same attention to detail goes into every deck we construct. Our team fits sturdy joists, secure handrails, and hidden fixings for a clean finish.

Once the ground is prepared, we install a weed barrier and a gravel base for drainage. Then we lay the framework, making sure it’s level and square. Finally, we screw down the decking boards, leaving the right gap for water runoff. We do all this in a tidy, organised way, clearing up at the end of each day. Most decks are finished within a week, depending on the size.

Common questions about wood decking construction in Shercock

How much does a wood decking cost in Shercock?

Cost depends on size, materials, and site prep. A basic 20m² softwood deck starts around €2,500. Hardwood or composite can be more. We give a free itemised quote after a site visit.

Do I need planning permission for a deck?

Most decks under 0.5m high are exempt. For taller decks or listed properties, we advise checking with Cavan County Council. We can help with any paperwork needed.

How long does it take to build a deck?

A standard deck (20-30m²) takes about 4 to 7 days. Weather can slow things down, but we work around it. We’ll give you a schedule before we start.

How do I maintain my wood decking?

Softwood decks need oiling every 12-18 months. Hardwood decks last longer before re-oiling. We advise cleaning once a year with a soft brush and deck cleaner. Composites need just a hose-down.
