Decking installation doesn’t cease for Lakeland Verandahs in winter as our UPVC decking system can be fitted all year round and our team is well used to working in unfavourable weather conditions.
We’d be lying if we said that cold and rainy weather doesn’t make decking projects tricky at times, but accounting for certain factors, it’s more than achievable with us.
Proceeding with garden decking ideas in the perceived off-seasons of autumn and winter might be a really smart move. Firstly, you won’t be using your garden area as much as in summer, so it won’t disrupt any sunbathing outside.
Lead times may be shorter due to lower demand for decking in comparison to summer, meaning that you could have it, along with any additional touches e.g. balustrades, in a fast turnaround.
Some suppliers run promotional discounts through winter to encourage custom, such as we’re doing right now on our offers page, giving you a tremendous deal on decking.
UPVC’s low maintenance nature is worth stressing too as although it may attract some dirt and grime over winter, this is usually easily removed by hosing it down or using warm, soapy water and a soft-bristled brush. It’ll look as good as new once the minimal maintenance is carried out.
Kids are also less likely to traipse mud into the house than they might if walking on sodden ground rather than over a UPVC deck. A winter installation will see that once spring comes back around, your new deck will be all ready for immediate use.
The UK is one of the world’s rainiest countries, so it would be quite odd if an installer was only prepared to finalise a decking layout in dry weather. We can’t speak on behalf of other installers, but that’s certainly our viewpoint.
Of course, if conditions become completely unsafe, we would bring the process to a halt and reschedule, as we’d never want to risk anyone’s safety, but rarely does the weather get in the way of our deck undertakings.
Rest assured that we’ll do everything to keep things right on track, whatever weather we encounter.
UPVC is a reliable material for all weather conditions, that is why our warranty extends for the length of time it does. Some algae may be incited in damp and shaded conditions, but only if you don’t adhere to the sporadic routine of clearing away debris and giving the deckboards a wash. Find tips on how to stop decking being slippery when frost and ice strikes.
We don’t see any reason to put a decking project on hold just because it’s winter, and if you do, you’ll miss out on savouring the early part of spring.
Lakeland Verandahs is a decking installer that refuses to let the colder conditions be a barrier to installation and is well accustomed to fitting decks whenever customers ask for them.
Deciding against postponing deck-related plans until spring could also help you beat the traditional rush for decking that occurs every year at the advent of the season.
Winter is a great time to add all varieties of decking shapes to garden spaces, and we’d love to be the company that organises it for you. We’re also a seller of verandas and pergolas, which can both offer a covering for decking in winter and some reliable weather shelter, helping you extend use of the space far beyond summer.
