It's good achully... the place seems quite professional, which is nice.
You'll nearly always find there are grooves both sides, just different styles. That's what I've always found, and like Kev i always go for the narrower style that goes right across the board.
Also helps, a bit, to stop them warping and splitting.
No chance of them warping nailed with 50mm ring shank nails & every 600mm in new money.
Got another bigish decking job to price this week.

Im sure he will manage to do his own since he's made a nice job of his new bedroom.
Well worth the wait
I hope I am as half as eloquent when I get there!
It isn't a habitable room....honest! No CH and just a garden sitting-room/admiring room and a place for the treadmill. But I know what you mean.Im sure he will manage to do his own since he's made a nice job of his new bedroom.
I think it will be more usable than the glass box it replaces and will be less likely to end up as a junk/storage room.
I hope to get my Weathervane installed early next week, as a finishing flourish to "Barney" the mini-barn

You should have seen mine before I put them down. they had been stored out the back of my place for about 4 years. The very last two were bent like bananas and quite a lot were warped.No chance of them warping nailed with 50mm ring shank nails & every 600mm in new money.

I made a "special tool" to enable me to untwist them and hold them in place while I screwed them down. i also used some fancy brass washers which were thicker to the outside and kinda knurled to grip the wood rather than pull through it.

They really helped.
Don't have a proper picture to show you of the decking exactly, but here is the back of the house with the three places we will probably put the mossy netting as mentioned yesterday. You can just make out the edge of the decking on the left-hand covered balcony type thing. I trimmed it by putting decking planks vertically along the edge.
