Thanks to all who have offered advice already.
I'm getting conflicting views about deck material; some say 18mm OSB3 is fine others say where the underside is exposed to garage type atmosphere that OSB3 is definitely not to be recommended. Instead one should use exterior WBP (presumably still 18mm). I am assured also that this can be sourced at a similar price, i.e. Wickes OSB3 is £15 a standard 2440x1220 sheet for 10+. Searching the internet doesn't come up with prices anywhere near that. More like twice the price.
Is there a correct answer to this or is it a matter of opinion?
Thanks. PeterM
