19 Constructing your outdoor living space Decking and paved areas increase outdoor living space, providing cooler places to relax on hot balmy summer evenings. They add interest to a home and provide a lead out to the lawn and garden. Such structural elements break up a large garden offering ways to reduce grassed areas. If choosing stone chip for barbecue or seating areas, ensure the ground is level and weed free. Weed mat under the stones helps minimise weeds though the stones can spill onto the lawn, blunting lawnmower blades. Paving slabs or bricks can be fitted into stoned paths, patios or courtyards. Pavers are more permanent. They come in a variety of colours and sizes and can easily be lifted when making changes to your garden layout. Good ground preparation pays off. Sketch or mark the area to be paved using string. Check there is no underground wiring or drainage close to the surface and kill off all weeds. Regulations require paved areas be a minimum of one metre below the internal finished floor level. The correct height is dependent on the type of flooring and cladding of a home (see www. weathertight.org.nz/new-buildings/detailsolutions/floor-levels-and-clearances). You will also want to fit the pavers higher than the surrounding area and allow a 10-30 millimetre run-off. Heavier use areas need a thicker base with more soil dug out. Hammer in a stake then tie string around to mark the lowest and highest points and guide the laying of the pavers. Spread crushed stone over the prepared ground to create a hard base, then a 2-5 centimetre layer of sand to assist drainage and prevent the pavers sagging over time (especially where the ground is soft). Place the pavers straight down, minimising walking on the sand base. Cut pavers with a stone cutter and compress with a plate compactor. Plastic, aluminium, steel or concrete edge restraints may be fitted to help retain the shape of the paved area. Lastly sweep crusher dust over the joints to ensure the pavers sit evenly and water pooling is avoided. More permanent and durable options are concrete and asphalt though can be stark and glary for outdoor areas. This is overcome by choosing coloured concrete or a different finish like exposed aggregate. For an earthy look, decking is ideal – constructed from pine, hardwood or bamboo. Treated pine is affordable and reasonably durable. Bamboo is strong. Hardwood is durable, attractive and fashionable. The choice of wood depends as much on preference as budget. Where a deck will be 1.5 metres or higher, Council consent will be required. Timber piles should be concreted in so there is a firm base for the bearers over which the joists will sit. These run at 90 degrees to the bearers. Galvanised or stainless steel nails or screws can be used to fix the decking timber. Screws will provide a more secure fixing. Finish off your alfresco living with built-in seating, raised garden beds, pots and some attractive outdoor furniture.
