Collection: Decking

Decking is the perfect way to make the most of your outdoor space and will give you an area that is great for entertaining. A well-made garden deck can increase the value of your home so it’s worth taking the time to focus on the design process.

Composite decking is growing in popularity in the UK, as it requires less maintenance than a classic timber deck and usually comes with a warranty. Our synthetic plank decking blends plastic, wood and recycled plastic, without compromising on style. Samples are available from all of our ranges so you can see for yourself how good they are.

If you want to make sure that your decking project is as environmentally friendly as possible, we’d recommend taking a look at the Hyperion Pioneer Decking Range by Envirobuild, which is made from recycled HDPE plastic and reclaimed wood. The 25-year warranty means that your garden decking will be long lasting and look amazing!

For campsite or park decking projects, the Triton range from Storm Building Projects will be more appropriate, as it has been designed for large applications. It comes with a 10-year warranty and an anti-slip finish to make sure its users stay safe. The Triton decking is available in five colours so you’ll be sure to find something to match your aesthetic.

We have a large range of decking sizes and thicknesses available so if you need any help selecting the right decking for your garden project, contact our team on 020 3481 1978 and we’ll talk you through your best option(s).

Plan your garden with composite decking

For the last couple of years, there has been a growing demand for outdoor decking in the United Kingdom, especially, composite deckings.

Garden decks are becoming more and more popular. And timber is not the only option in town. New eco-friendly composite alternatives are more resistant than classic timber deck, requires less maintenance, and often comes up with a warranty.

Benefits of Garden Decks

Garden decks are a great way to redefine your outdoor space. Not only does a garden deck allow you to make the most of your summer evenings, but it also opens the door to a wide variety of garden styles and opportunities to introduce new plants, bringing new energy and life to your outdoor living areas.

Decking is considered a cost-effective solution to your garden landscaping. It adds charm, space, and prospects for outdoor activities to any home or property.

Decking requires careful planning. It is important to consider the effect of the decking layout on the overall look of the property or home.

A beautiful and attractive outdoor area, is not only ideal for your children to play, but also a great place for outdoor dining, as well as unwinding on a summer evening. You can also incorporate a fireplace to extend the use of the area when the temperature drops.

Average cost to build a standard garden deck

Decks are a great place to spend time with your loved one, relatives, and friends and connect with nature. But it’s also a great way of increasing the appeal of your home and add to its resale value.

Building a standard garden deck, will cost on average £5500 to £6000. The cost varies based on materials, the size of the deck, as well as your seating and lighting ambitions.

In the UK, a contractor usually charges £25 to £30 per square foot (not including the cost of materials). However, depending on the type of material or décor you have in mind, a smaller deck doesn’t mean it will be cheaper to build.

For a deck under 200 square feet, the average cost is in the region of £3855. It can go up to £6410 for a 500 square feet deck, and anything above that size could push the average cost to £11,000 —£12,000.

What type of Garden Deck is best?

The garden and decking of your home should be planned as an extension of your interior. If done well, a new garden deck can further boost your home’s value and provide a peaceful retreat.

25 years ago, wood decking was the only choice if you wanted to enhance your garden with a deck. The cost in materials, labour, and maintenance was higher and the alternatives were limited, poor and unattractive. However, that’s not the case anymore with synthetic plank decking. Composite decks blending plastic, wood and recycled plastic have lessened the popularity of wood decking.
