An outdoor show garden created using products supplied by leading deck manufacturer Arbordeck won a top prize at the 2007 BBC Gardeners World Live event at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. Created by Nottingham-based Halycon Garden Design, the decked garden was judged by a committee of judges from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and awarded a bronze medal for its striking design. The garden featured Arbordecks's reversible deck boards which were installed smooth side up in order to emphasise the attractive, flowing design of the spiralling decking. The company holds the deck mark, a quality assurance from the timber decking association, along with a 15 year performance guarantee. Boards are tanalith e treated in order to provide protection against fungal and insect attack. A wide selection of boards is said to be available, together with a range of ancillary products such as joists spindles, handrails and fittings.
