What are the Uses For Decking?

If you thought that garden decking had limited uses then you’ll be surprised perhaps, to know that decking can be used for a variety of different purposes that compliment your garden and function as an active play area for all the family. Here, we look at the many different ways you can utilise your garden decking in West Lothian.

Fancy a soak in the hot tub – or a swim in the pool?

This is one of many ideas, as well as a swimming pool, where you and family and friends can relax in a hot tub after a meal. You can use garden decking to clad the hot tub and the decking can give you a non-slip surface when entering and exiting. The same applies to a swimming pool. As well as providing safe areas for walking and entering and exiting the pool, a supporting balustrade and a decking surround can give you privacy and safety while you go for a swim.

Decking as a play area for children

A play area for your children is a great way of providing space, privacy and an all-weather area where children can play with their friends. With garden decking your children can explore their world safely, while you look on, they don’t have to get their shoes dirty and they can play outdoors in most weathers.

Somewhere to sit

If you’re looking for somewhere to relax and view your garden in all its glory in comfort, then a decking area with seating is a great idea. You can socialise and relax in the comfort of your garden, no muddy shoes, even flooring for outdoor chairs and tables where you can enjoy a glass of wine or two after a day at work.

A dedicated garden decking pathway

A pathway that doesn’t get muddy or wet and slippy is an idea way of getting to your garden from the house and back again in inclement weather and a nice even surface to stroll along during spring and summer. You can make it as dramatic or as minimalist as you like.

Wheelchair Friendly Access Route

Is someone in your family disabled and a wheelchair user? Garden decking for the safe use of outdoor space for wheelchair users is a great way of providing access to the garden, and can make spending time in the garden a more pleasurable experience for wheelchair users.

Landscaping

If you want to create an eye catching garden with terraces, then garden decking can help, it’s a great way of creating landscaped gardens that look professional and at the same time, create a beautiful area in which to sit.

Garden decking can be the perfect solution to solve the issues associated with sloping sites or to create a simply stunning terraced garden.

Japanese Garden
