Get Inspired!

This is one of the most important, yet often overlooked parts of a decking project and you should do this before anything else.

There a literally thousands of decking projects out there and you can get inspiration from every single one of them. You may love the colour of one but despise the style but in the end it is totally your choice. So, make sure you take plenty of time to fully understand what is possible.

Plan in Detail/Hire a Quality Decking Contractor

Once you have your idea sorted, it’s time for the technical stuff. If you are planning on doing your decking yourself, then make sure you really do plan. You need to consider timescales, materials and be confident in your own ability to do the job. If you don’t feel 100% confident you should hire a tried and trusted contractor to do the work for you.

Remember Where You Live…

Britain isn’t know for it’s predictable climate or year round sunshine which you need to take into account when choosing your decking. It’s perfectly fine to take inspiration from projects in the south of France but you may need to add on a few more practical elements to ensure your decking is suitable for all seasons. You should also make sure it will match up with your existing property style as a contemporary decking setup could clash with a more traditional home.

Accessorize!

Don’t just stick with the basics. This is your decking project and will be with you for a very long time so you might as well go to town with it. Why not add some stylish lighting so you can use it at night for late night drinks and BBQs. You could also add some in-built benches and seats or even chuck in some railings to create a truly unique design for your garden. Outdoor heating equipment is also becoming more popular by the day and can be installed to keep you warm whatever the weather. The world is your oyster!

Keep an Eye on the Budget

Decking certainly doesn’t have to cost the earth to look fantastic but you should always bear in mind what you can afford throughout every stage we’ve mentioned so far.
