💨 Abstract

A common mistake in installing garden decking is placing the grooves upwards, which can trap water and debris, leading to rot and reducing the lifespan of the deck. The correct method is to have the grooves facing downwards for better air circulation and drainage. Regular cleaning and sealing, as well as considering composite decking for longevity, are also recommended. Additionally, seasonal sales and price comparisons can help in saving money on garden items.
