Softwood and hardwood grooved wooden decking (usually pre-treated wood) is available from most large DIY outlets and garden centres with patio sections, being relatively cheap and simple to lay, provided that the base is completely level. Each year in the spring, the deck should be thoroughly washed, being scrubbed or hosed down with a powerwasher, before painting with a sealant or wood preserver.
