Hi All,
Just about to lay 40m2 of softwood decking and have been swaying from laying flat profile up or grooved profile up. It seems a lot of designs tend to go with the flat profile these days, I think to emulate the look of hardwood decks, but I'm worried that this may be too slippy.
The deck is fully exposed to the sun so should not encourage too much organic growth - which I understand is one of the main reasons decks start to become slippy, even with grooves up.
Mrs Nthused wants the flat side up so it may be a foregone conclusion! ...however, I'd appreciate anybody's input on this.
