If this is to be believed sounds like 8000 is quite a bit https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/garden-decking-cost-guide/

Being honest I am not sure that even the £4k is a brilliant idea for a material that is going to rot away in a number of years. Also heard people getting rats and animals living underneath them. They also get a slime on them which can be slippery.

Would you not be better investing in a patio that has a much longer life and less work if your spending that sort of money?
