Answer 1

Depends on the base you're using (i.e. concrete supports or sitting on raised slabs) and whether you're doing it yourself.

However as an example, for a 12 ft square deck yourself you shouldn't be paying any more than £100 - £120 assuming you're doing it yourself.

Getting a tradesman could treble the price (circa £350) however given the size of the deck it should be within the reach of most DIYers

Answer 2

3.6 x 3.6 Sq mtrs.

You need to set it on a 100mm x 50mm sub frame. I pay £1.40 per metre so this would be £5.04 per deck board.You get 8 boards to the metre so you would need 29 boards = £146.16. Then you will need to cover the cost for the sub frame this is around the same price per metre. You would need about 10 lengths and a couple extra for noggins. This would be about £60.00. If you are concreting the posts in allow for the cost of the posts and concrete I would allow another about another £50. So all in all it should cost you about around £250 - £275.
