Questions commonly asked by our customers
Searching for some more answers before you press on with buying our garden decking to socialise outdoors? Read our FAQs section for helpful guidance.
Is decking a good idea in the garden?
We certainly believe so and customers of Lakeland Verandahs who are already in receivership of our garden decking will likely tell you the same.
It will see time spent outside become a regular part of your family’s lifestyle and with the placement of outdoor furniture, portable umbrellas etc. on the decking, you can create a gorgeous garden oasis and exquisite outdoor living room for everyone to embrace.
Further to the undoubted personal enjoyment it will bring, implementing a decked area in a prime section of your garden can also uplift the sale price of your property and elevate its desirability to buyers. You never know, it could be a decisive factor in someone putting in an offer to purchase the house from you when you decide to sell, such is the lure of this most luxurious of garden enhancements.
How can decking be effectively used in a sloped garden?
Not all gardens are exactly level, with some having a slight or considerable slope, making them difficult for usability. But an uneven landscape customarily won’t curb the construction of decking on it.
By utilising posts for stability or pedestals to level a surface and ensuring the foundations underneath the proposed location of the garden decking are sufficiently solid, most degrees of slope won’t present an issue and you will be left with a nicely flat decking platform.
We have successfully constructed decking in large and small garden spaces with the steepest of slopes and it’s the intense and essential preparation work done beforehand that has enabled us to accomplish it.
What are the benefits of using UPVC decking materials?
The closest rivals of UPVC decking are wooden decking and composite decking and UPVC holds various advantages over these competing materials.
It doesn’t suffer from weathering, a useful asset in a country with an unforgiving climate, or general wear and tear, so it will maintain its smart look and performance over the warranty period without you needing to put in too much effort. Advice on recommended upkeep of the system will be given to you at the time of your buying.
Because we largely rely on recycled UPVC in the production of our garden decking and it’s fully recyclable once it’s reached the end of its life, it can be considered a green solution and eco-friendly.
How should decking shape be planned for the available space?
Most garden decking is shaped in a rectangular or square formation for neatness and the angular lines it offers, but you may need it shaped differently if you must work it around trees, a pond etc. or your garden is on the sloped side. The planned functionality of the decking will also influence its arrangement, so notify us of your intentions at the earliest time.
A decking layout and shape hinges on the house and garden space where it’s being installed and ideally should not exceed more than 20 percent of a property’s overall square footage. Go bigger than this if you really want to deviate from a minimalistic approach, but there’s a danger if you do that your garden decking will occupy too much space.
Size up your garden for decking by just viewing it closely and visualising how much of it you would be comfortable being taken up. It’s better to go small than too big as you can always extend small garden decking further down the line.
