The concept of creating a terrace or a gazebo for a country house is the natural assumption that the home Master "will do it" as easily and independently as the natural world. It is enough to select the original terraced board and apply the known methods of laying.

Favorite recreation area
Recreation area of a country house in the open air is actual and popular among developers and homeowners. Trying to expand the living space due to terrace solutions, the main assistant to create a stylish and attractive design is a terrace board.
The terrace board, as if, was created to form a unique and memorable interior of a modern house. Calm and noble wood colors of the terrace board refresh the design, giving subtlety to the surrounding objects. It is noticed that it is comfortable and carefree on the terraces of the house, and what other arguments are needed to create an atmosphere of seclusion and rest?
The excellent qualities of the terrace board make it possible to successfully use its application for such purposes:
• decorative (finishing of facades, fences, stairs and garden furniture)
• operational (terraces, piers, balconies, gazebos, roof)
• decoration of the rooms of saunas, baths, showers and decking near the outdoor pool
• for erection and construction of children's playgrounds.
At the nearest study of the collections of the terraced board of well-known brands, you will run out of saliva from names and colors:
• Ipe - rich color with a chocolate tint of tropical wood
• Walnut - deep dark color of ripe walnut
• LightGrey - a thin woody shade, exposed to active solar influence.
Therefore, let's get acquainted with this promising building material, as well as possible options and ways of its application.
Cutting board in section
The profile of the terrace board and the material of manufacture are quite interesting. The front side, as expected, has an attractive look. The attractiveness of wood fibers and the excellent performance of the terraced board made of composite materials make it possible to expand the main functional part of the verandas, balconies, moorings and areas near the pool. What is the profile of the terrace board?
On the front side of the board, you can see pronounced grooves with a depth of up to 2 mm, which are located at a distance of up to 1.5 cm. These grooves create a characteristic effect of the board - the "antislip", which prevents slipperiness of the surface when wet. What distinguishes the installation of a terrace board from other types of flooring? This is a typical installation, which is not made in the type of "in the spike".
On the other side of the terrace board, to compensate for the voltage that has arisen, the compensation grooves, whose depth reaches 5 mm, are drilled along the entire length during temperature-humidity fluctuations.
Innovative technologies for production of terraced polymer boards allow the use of material for interior and exterior decoration.
By the way, about the prices for a terrace board. Frankly: expensive, very expensive! Decking of a terraced board larch with accompanying materials for subsequent laying and coating with oil will pour out into a round penny.

Use options for the board
There are plenty of options for the successful application of the terrace board during the construction of the house. Due to the well-thought-out assembly of the manufacturer, the installation of the terrace board can be made independently.
In the delivery set of the fasteners of the composite terrace board are:
• board profile
• bending profile
• fastening clips, corners and plugs
• decorative strips and hoses for seams and ends.
Ways of installation
It is necessary to distinguish between open and hidden ways of mounting the board.
The open method of fastening presupposes the following technological stages:
• installation of logs
• installation of the first board
• installation of subsequent boards
• oil coating of the first layer of logs and boards from all sides
• Finishing of the second layer with the oil of the finished terrace flooring.
The concealed method of installation assumes the use of additional fastening plates.
How to install and install a terrace board
preparatory stage before laying boards
Before installing boards, the boards delivered to the installation site are left for acclimatization for 2 days. The boards are checked for defects, chips or damage.
To completely match the elements of the design, use only original brand accessories. It must be remembered that a prerequisite for the construction of terraces is the presence of a gap between the base of the structure and the ground. Technological clearance of at least 25 mm is necessary for the organization of ventilation by natural means.
preparation of the substrate for laying
Mounting boards should be carried out on a level and fairly hard working surface (concrete slabs or screed). In some cases, it is recommended that the base surface be laid with a material that will prevent the subsequent germination of the weeds.
laying and lag mounting
The logs are laid back to back with a technological gap of about 6 mm and a compensation gap of 20 mm for all fixed stops.
Fixed limits are the walls of the house, borders, fences. The recommended distance between lags for different types of laying is:
• standard packing - 35 cm.
• with an increased operating load of 25 cm.
• When laying the mounting profile at an angle (45 °) - 20 cm.
installation of the first profile and board
The first profile and the first board are fixed to the established lags using the starting clips. In the central part of the lag, the clip is fixed using a screw. Screwing is performed freely without any effort. Now, to the clip, you can attach the first board.
installation of subsequent profiles, clips and boards
The subsequent profiles are attached to the previous ones in the places where the profile and the clip are joined. This will provide the profile with a reliable attachment from both ends of the board.
When laying and constructing a terrace of considerable length the board must be laid with butt-ends. It does not hurt to remember that fixing the clip with a self-cut is only necessary after laying the next board and adjusting its location.
installation of the last terrace board and finishing work
The final stage of laying the terrace is the fit of the last board. Therefore, it must be prepared in such a way that the length of the ends does not protrude beyond the terracing field significantly, 5 cm will be enough.
The profile is set at an angle to the support lags with the use of screws. The end part of the full deck is covered with a corner from the deck or the end caps are used. You can install a plinth of the board material, fixing it permanently with screws.
