One-day seminars on the practical aspects of decking will be held at four UK venues from March to June.
The events, organised by American Softwoods, are aimed at architects, landscape designers, deck installers, timber merchants and builders. They will cover design, site considerations, building regulations and timber treatment.
Presentations will be given by a panel of industry experts, including Eddie Pearce, European marketing director of American Softwoods, and Martyn Spence, technical adviser to the Timber Decking Association.
Preston will be the first stop on March 20, followed by Jersey on April 29, Bristol on May 14 and Edinburgh on June 11.
