    Is a metal shed better than a wooden one?

    Our old wooden shed has finally rotted through and I'm tempted by a metal one this time. Do they suffer with condensation though? It'll be storing power tools and the mower.

    Is composite decking cheaper than a concrete patio?

    We are replacing a tired old patio and cannot decide between composite decking and concrete slabs. Which is cheaper once you include labour and which lasts longer with minimal upkeep? I think we're leaning more towards the composite decking right now but want some expert thoughts

    How long does decking last?

    We had timber decking installed about seven years ago and some of the boards are starting to show their age. What's the typical lifespan? And is there a point where it makes sense to replace rather than repair?
