Decking Accessories

Decking accessories are essential components that complement your decking boards and enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of your deck. In this category, we explore the various types of decking accessories available, their practical uses, and guidance on selecting the appropriate ones for specific projects.

Joiners and Connectors

Joiners, such as the Aluminium Joiner 90 Degree Corner and Balustrade Flexible Handrail Joiner, are fundamental in ensuring the stability and continuity of the deck structure. They are used to connect decking sections seamlessly and are particularly useful in corners and for handrail systems.

Balustrades and Handrails

Aluminium Balustrade Stairs and handrail components offer both safety and a polished finish to deck stairways. They are essential for elevated decks and provide support and protection to prevent falls.

Gutter Systems

A proper gutter system, like the Alupave Fireproof Flat Roof & Decking Side Gutter, is vital for water management. It ensures that rainwater is appropriately channelled away from the deck, preventing potential water damage.

Weed Control

Weed control measures, such as Heavy Duty Weed Control Fabric and corresponding Fabric Pegs, are crucial for maintaining the underdeck space and preventing unwanted plant growth that can disrupt the deck foundation.

Decking Boards and Steps

Specialised boards like the Triton WPC Decking Step Board and various skirting trims provide functional surfaces and aesthetic finishes. Step boards, for instance, are specifically designed for creating durable and safe staircases in your decking area.

Fasteners and Fixings

An assortment of fasteners, including Hyperion Decking Board Gap Inserts, Triton Stainless Steel Starter Clips, and various screws and clips, are available to accommodate different decking materials and installation requirements. These fixings ensure a secure and lasting installation.

Adjustment and Support

Components like the Perimeter Spacer and Pedestal Adjustment Key play a crucial role in levelling and spacing your deck. Adjustable pedestals support the joists and decking boards, ensuring a level surface and adequate airflow beneath the deck.

Finishing Touches

Finish your deck with caps, trims, and tapes such as Therrawood Decking Closing Cap and Walther Strong Deck Tape to protect and enhance the longevity of your decking. These accessories help prevent moisture ingress and cover exposed edges for a complete look.

When selecting decking accessories, consider the compatibility with your existing decking materials, the specific structural requirements of your deck, and the desired aesthetic outcome. Whether you are looking to add safety features, enhance durability, or simply achieve a polished finish, the right decking accessories can significantly impact the quality and longevity of your decking project.
