You then want to divide your length and breadth by 30 to figure out how many pieces of decking tile you will need, and then divide that by 9 to figure out how many packs you need. Each piece of Ikea Runnen decking tile is 30x30cm.

Measure the area you want to install the decking on, taking a length and breadth measurement using centimeters (cm).This should be laid over your existing tile or cement floors. So, don’t think about laying this on grass or earth in your garden.

The Ikea Runnen decking are interlocking tiles, and are meant to be laid on a flat, solid surface.When you want something done properly, just do it yourself! 🙂īefore you even begin, there are some things you have to think about and work out first. It’s light enough that you can carry all the pieces you need home yourself, and fix it up yourself – no need to fuss around trying to get some guy to fix it up for you. These are the Ikea Runnen decking for outdoor use, and I’ll tell you how I did it, and what you need to know. There are many places you can look, but my research brought me to Ikea! 😀 When I got there, and poked around, I saw the ones I wanted were on sale. So, I needed decking that could sit over the existing tiles. I did not want to hack my floor tiles on the balcony (I wasn’t allowed to and on hind sight, it was probably a good idea not to). Incidentally, there wasn’t a lot of information out there when I was doing my research, so I reckon this will be helpful 🙂 Much to my surprise, when I showed it off on Instagram stories, because I was so proud of myself LOL!, so many of you asked me about it, how I did it, where I got the materials etc. So I said “To hell with it! I’ll figure it out later!” and I went ahead and laid down decking on my balcony.
