steps & decking

[taxi-maid]

What is the best way to build steps with decking?
I have a 6' wall that i need steps for coming off of a decked area of approx 17m x 3.5m. Would it be better to build the steps with decking or stone steps & build the decking round them? Thank you.

Well not being a builder, I can't answer that one but I do know we have decking steps and they get awfully slippery both in the rain and frost, so if you have children, I'd go for stone but the decking does look better me thinks with regular oiling.

Decking is available with a non slip surface let into it for this purpose.

Thanks both of you. Landscaper2 is this non-slip decking readily available?
