Why choose Composite Decking?

It’s that time of year when we’re all starting to look more towards summer than back to the festive season. The last few Celebrations or Miniature Heroes have finally been disposed of, you’ve toyed with the idea of heading outside without a coat (only to think better of it, and you’ve been constantly bombarded with internet adverts prompting you to jet off to sunnier climes for a week or two.

As the longer days help daffodils and snowdrops blossom, so too do your thoughts of barbecues and balmy summer nights sitting around the fire-pit in your back garden. Bliss.

However, as you find yourself gazing lustily towards the slightly mouldy paddling pool lodged in the corner of your shed, you suddenly turn to your old wooden decking which, quite frankly, is looking a bit of a state after you never bothered to waterproof/stain it before winter hit..

Time for a new one? Finally going to buy the decking you’ve been promising yourself since the eternal summer of 2018? Simply can’t be bothered to get down on your hands and knees  hammer in that loose bit of decking that just won’t stay where it’s meant to whatever you do to it? Then it’s time to upgrade to some composite decking.

Now first things first, there’s no escaping the fact that composite decking is a little expensive than its timber counterpart but as with most things, you do get what you pay for.

Composite decking requires next to no maintenance whatsoever. If it starts to look a little tired after a couple of years, simply given it a quick blast with the pressure washer to have literally looking good as new. No mending, no staining, no rotting, no painting, no warping and no slippery mould to spoil your precious sunny days. And more than that, it’s there exactly when you need it, with absolute no waiting for the wood treatment to set as the only sunny weekend in August slowly slips away.

Significantly, there’s no risk of the kids ending up with a splinter or cutting themselves on a loose nail either. Just peace of mind in the sunniest spot in your garden, where you can bask in the knowledge that you’re decking is going to last twice as long as the wooden deck next door, and look a whole lot better in that time too.

These are just a handful of reasons why composite decking is the way forward. Come see us soon for a pressure-free chat to find out what your options are and how affordable the deck of your dreams is. We suspect you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
