The static caravan decking patios I've seen look much like one you would build in your garden so just search 'decking' on B&Q website, see the decking boards & all the other parts required. Before you buy from B&Q though have a shop around your area, you may find a smaller supplier that is cheaper.

Agree with Billy same as you would build at home, I built a decking in the garden last year.
after a lot of looking around, i found that getting the stuff from a reclamation yard was the cheapest.
Mine was a 6m x 3.5m all for about £400, plus cement.. a lot of places were coming in at double that

If you can wait until I go to my van next Monday I'll let you know exactly what we used in October last year to build ours. The receipts are all in the van. I seem to remember though that it was cheaper to go to a small timber yard that specialises in decking and they were very helpful. However we used brackets for extra support which were extra and we had to get them online. The deck is the full length of the van, 1 meter wide and one end is a 'P' to give space for a table & chairs. We bought all the boards 3 meters long and hubby cut them to size with a mitre saw. A lot of hard work but very satisfactory when you can say 'I did that'. We had been quoted £2500 by the site owners son and I think the total for us was £700. It took 4 days with only a little help from me to hold the wood for cutting and passing screws etc. Good luck.

All the new statics at our local site, have decking made of Plastic.
These would appear to need no maintenance.
Although they look solid enough, they are obviously plastic and if I were doing one for ourselves, I would be using wood.
