Composite deck is one of the fastest growing home improvement products in the UK because it’s so versatile. Here we look at some of the ways you can use it in your garden.
Garden decking has always been a popular garden improvement. Frequently used an alternative to patios, low maintenance composite deck has a natural and realistic look using a softer and warmer design compared to paved garden spaces, helping to bring your garden to life.
When considering creating your own unique space you need to create a plan and work out what you want from your new decking. Whether it’s a space for family, entertaining guests or lounging in the sun, consider a design that best suits your garden size to maximise the space and take advantage of your garden’s characteristics.
Composite decking made from composite wood can be used to create a wonderful outdoor living space that can be personalised to your taste. It’s pretty much maintenance free so can be used in any area of the garden, even if it’s in a shaded area that is often damp. Take a look at some of our ideas for using composite deck in your garden.
Ground level decking
Ground level decking is one of the simplest decking designs which can be easy to build and install. Ground level composite deck is ideal for homes looking for an alternative to a patio and can be used to create an interesting feature in terraced and suburban homes.
Ground level decking can be used to create a small yet natural looking multi-purpose space and if you use Composite Wood decking it is guaranteed to last for at least 10 years.
Raised decking
If you’re looking to create a more eye catching and versatile space in your garden, raised decking could be perfect for you. Raised decking designs are ideal if you have a sloped or a split-level garden. They create a level space to give you fantastic views of your garden and the surrounding area.
If you want a raised decking area you will also want to think about steps and balustrades to keep you safe. Depending on the size you are going for you may also need to get planning permission.
Multi-level Decking
If you have a large, tiered garden and want to create a ‘wow-factor’ you can transform your garden with a multi-level decking space. Ideal for larger garden projects you can create interesting and unique spaces in your garden. You could have a separate space for comfortable seating, outdoor dining and the BBQ!
If you are opting for this type of design you can mould these spaces to suit your garden. Your primary entertainment spot could have some of the best views of your garden and have a place to keep your BBQ out of the wind. Multi-level decking provides you with the perfect place to host, entertain and relax.
Hot tub decking
If you have your own hot tub or pool you need a space around it that provides easy access to and from your home (especially on cold evenings!).
Traditional timber decking is prone to becoming slippery when wet which can make it a potentially risky option for decking around a jacuzzi. Composite deck, on the other hand, is ideal for use around pool areas and hot tubs as it is slip resistant and splinter-free. Composite Wood decking is waterproof and has protection from mould so its guaranteed to last longer.
BBQ, Entertainment Space
The added strength of our composite deck makes it ideal for creating spaces for barbeques and entertaining guests. Combined with well-placed lighting, outdoor heating and of course a top of the range BBQ, you have a space to party and entertain all night long.
Garden Room
Why not add the perfect finish to your new decking space with a Composite Wood Garden Room. Our garden rooms are fully insulated making them ideal to use throughout the year. Customise your garden room to your style whether you want a mancave/shecave, family room or garden bar. Combine with our composite decking and balustrade fencing for the ultimate garden entertainment space.
Additional features
To make your new decking area extra special you can add additional features like LED lighting which is ideal for both safety and style. Lighting can add a unique feature to your decking and make all the difference when entertaining guests or relaxing in the evening.
To turn your new decking into a year-round space you could add overhanging heat lamps for your outdoor seating. Outdoor heating and lighting is perfect for those who want to use their garden throughout the year.
You can also build in practical features such as storage in your decking to hide away some of your garden tools and keep your garden looking clean and uncluttered.
