Decking or patio for family garden?

Question

Which is better for a family garden, decking or a patio?

Vince · Accepted Answer

In my opinion a patio would be better. Decking looks good but in wet weather and the winter it is extremely slippery and near impossible to walk on, also it does need a little more looking after than a patio

Jamie · Answer

Decks are quicker to construct, resting on top of raised joists that can be elevated to make the most of a view. Unlike patios, they're suitable for uneven or sloping ground and most materials are more forgiving underfoot if kids take a tumble.

Nick · Answer

Definitely a patio it's more hardwearing and will last longer, decking can get very dangerous especially in the winter/wet seasons.

I would go with decking because it’s not too heavy plus it’s made out of wood

The over advertised decking of latter years has proved to be unsatisfactory so I recommend patio. Decking has many slip hazards.
