We want to place decking on a tarmac patio and extend in to the garden. We have French Windows on the back of the house and the bottom lip of the windows is only a couple of inches off the ground. In this case, can we placed decking that low, or would we have to build it a little bit away from the house to avoid the lip?
Decking - distance from house?

Is the tarmac level or does it slope away from your house? If the tarmac is solid and what you describe as "a couple of inches" is enough to get in a treated batten and a decking board you should be able to got the decking right to the doors. I'd only do this if the tarmac is sloping enough to ensure that under the decking is dry.
