i need to replace a deck around an outdoor pool that is around 100-500mm off the ground that is all rotted out. it has artificial grass on it and i want to keep this.
when i rebuild the deck, what sort of material would be best used on top of the deck frame to put the artificial grass onto again?
this deck is exposed to weather.
I would be looking at the compressed cement sheet for longevity

why didnt i think of that? 18mm looks the go there.Quote:

even more ideas, great.
Agree with a cement sheet product. If possible, I'd also consider giving the new subfloor a minor fall to drain water, say 2 degrees
xchem alpha floor
its a 35mm compressed cement sheeting thats tongue and groove but can be left exposed to the elements unlike other products.
this about same price maybe cheaper than cement fibre 18mm??Quote:
