Decking is a popular aspect of many UK gardens. It is a great way to introduce a stable and safe surface for entertaining guests, hosting BBQs or simply relaxing in the afternoon sun. Even if you love your lawn, there’s no reason why you can’t also have a deck; it will transform your garden in no time at all. We have put together a list of ideas of some of the best ways use your deck.
Decking provides the perfect non-slip surface to enter or exit your hot tub or swimming pool. If you’re soaking in soothing, bubbly water, the temperature outside doesn’t really matter. This means that a hot tub will allow you to enjoy your deck no matter what the time of year.
When planning your new deck, remember to think about the overall look of your home and how you want to incorporate your personality into the decor. Make sure you lay down a fabric on the ground so that the deck won’t be inundated with weeds.
1. Solve the Sloping
If your garden is fairly unusable as a result of its slopes and uneven terrain, decking provides the perfect solution. It will give your garden the stable and level space it needs to become useful.
2. Dine Outdoors
After investing in some stylish outdoor furniture, your new decking will become an extension of your interior, providing a great place to dine in the sunshine. Add some patio heaters so that you can enjoy the fresh air even when it’s cooler out.
3. Host a BBQ
The warmer months provide a particularly great opportunity to be sociable! Get your family and friends together for a traditional-style BBQ. You could even install or build a clay oven, allowing you to have pizza parties all year round, late into the night.
4. Border Your Hot Tub/Swimming Pool
