Tips For Creating A Functional And Stylish Deck

Plan Your Space

The first step in creating a functional and stylish deck is proper planning. Take some time to think about how you will use the space.

Consider your needs and lifestyle. Do you want a cosy spot for outdoor dining, a relaxation area, or a combination of both? Our team can guide you through this and design a deck at the size and layout that suits your requirements perfectly.

To make your deck truly functional, think about the features you can add to enhance its useability. Seating and storage benches are great additions that not only provide convenience but also contribute to the overall aesthetics of your space.

Choose the Right Materials

Selecting the right materials for your decking is essential, especially when it comes to durability and style.

UPVC decking is an excellent choice and doesn’t require staining or sealing, making it a hassle-free option that retains its beauty for years.

Optimise Your Deck’s Orientation

The orientation of your deck can greatly impact its functionality and comfort. Consider the path of the sun throughout the day and how you’d like the design to fit around this.

We can help you determine which area of the garden allows you the best view, whether that is a view into the house, views of the rest of the garden, or perhaps optimising a scenic view from beyond the garden.

We can help combine all the factors you want to optimise when helping design and offer suggestions to maximise its comfort and useability throughout the year.
