Anybody know best place to buy decking anywhere in the UK?
Best prices/Best type of wood to use?
That many types out there to choose from makes it a tough choice
Cheers
Unless you are looking for a “lost” lorry load, this may not be the best place to ask! 
I’m sure there are more appropriate forums…
But I’d say it’s like most things in life, cheapest isn’t necessarily the best or even most economical option, as you need to quantify time and effort into the equation. For a start if you buy very cheap pine (probably the fast growing Nordic variety) it will rot in next to no time as it has a very open grain structure. And if when you do all the sums of the total cost, and find that when you look at labour cost represents a big percentage of that, it may be cheaper (in the long run) to go for a better quality material…
What that will be I don’t know, as I drive a truck and don’t build decking.
Best of luck! 
I looked at this post assuming it was about Ronnie Pickering .Bare knuckle decker from Hull .
TOMMY 7437 USE only proper decking boards they have ribbed sides to stop slipping on when wet ,they have been pressure treated for out side use ,do not use any old [that will do board ] if not treated they will eventually warp if wet ,forget about rough timber ,if you have children use the proper decking boards. from a reputable suppler that chippy s use , or B@ Q you can …your money is a good as any ones, you may not get a discount,but the discount will be when it is still good after 5 years… if you bodge it ONE YEAR TOPS. also use the same treated 3x 2 or larger and posts to lift of the ground and frame …if you do not do it proply ,for a while it will look good but after one winter you will find out,YOUR CHOICE. i have 2 sons who have their own carpenters companies… it will be very expensive to get anyone to do it for you …look it up on the net buy good gear and do it your self… if you push a truck around all week …you will ■■■■ it.
Cheers lads

Whats best type of wood to use? Redwood??
House i am in atm ( bought 3 years ago ) has pine decking and absolutely ruined now! Done! Absolutely done! So i wont be buying Pine obviously
It depends how long you want it to last. The “type” of wood isn’t as important as you might think, it’s all about the substructure. It needs to be strong, well ventilated, and made using tanilised timber. Adjustable stilts are best for the uprights, but they are expensive.
As for the type of decking, it would depend if I personally was installing it, or if I was paying someone else. If someone else was doing it, then it would be a hardwood type all the way. But if I was self building, I would use either a composite or quality softwood (min 32mm thickness) because both are far more forgiving on your tools, and your time.

Advice much appreciated
Tommy 7437 if you have a Travis perkins or another builders supplier use them F-reds is correct the word is tanalise timber ,just ask for that , [forget about red wood and all the other names ]it means it has been put in side a large torpedo type tube, highly pressurised and the preservative is forced in to the wood years ago it was creosote,now some other form of wood preserver, that is how it ts coloured .
