Decking, patio and terrace areas are not just reserved for those spacious and large gardens you see in lifestyle magazines and on Pinterest. If you think that your small courtyard garden or balcony area is too much a small space to home a deck that you can relax and unwind in, think again.

From balconies and roof terraces to ground level and raised decking areas, these examples from Cladco Decking customers showcase the small garden decking ideas being used throughout the UK to transform limited outdoor spaces.
