September’s finally here, which means one thing: autumn is getting underway. As the weather changes and the way we use our outdoor spaces evolves, it’s a great time to start thinking about how you want your garden to look and feel over the coming months, and that can start with your decking.
For many people, timber decking is a classic garden favourite. Of course, we all enjoy our gardens differently. If you’re not someone who enjoys garden maintenance, you don’t have the time to give timber decking the TLC it needs, or you prefer something a little more sleek and modern, composite decking could be the option to consider.
So, what is it about composite that makes it so appealing at this time of year? Let’s explore the benefits of composite decking in autumn!
Getting your garden ready for the wetter, windier months can leave you with plenty to do before autumn even sets in! There’s outdoor furniture to store, borders to tidy, a lawn to care for, all competing for your attention.
With timber decking, this pre-autumn garden maintenance can mean checking the boards and, depending on their condition, applying another coat of protective treatment to keep the wood in good shape over the coming months. This can take a bit of time, especially when you have to wait for a dry spell to get the work done.
Depending on your preferences and availability, this extra preparation might be no problem. With that said, if you prefer to keep your autumn to-do list a little shorter,
composite decking means there’s less seasonal preparation to factor in, like painting, staining or sealing the boards before the wetter months arrive.
Once your autumn preparations are complete, looking after timber decking becomes an ongoing part of the season. As a natural material, timber benefits from a little regular TLC, with that care paying off in a beautiful, characterful deck that you can enjoy throughout autumn. However, if your lifestyle is unpredictable or you’d simply rather spend your free time enjoying your deck than maintaining it, composite decking is a great alternative.
Autumn can be a messy time in the garden. Fallen leaves, muddy footprints and daily dirt can quickly make their way onto your decking, especially after a few wet and windy days. Luckily, one of the biggest benefits of composite decking is how easy it is to keep clean, so getting your outdoor space looking fresh again doesn’t have to be a big job.
At Savoy Timber, we often speak to customers wondering, ‘How do I clean composite decking?’, and the answer is surprisingly simple. Start by giving the boards a good sweep to clear away any loose leaves, then wash the surface with some soap and water before rinsing it clean. Job done!
Those are the key points covered! If you’re ready to make the most of your garden this autumn with some new composite decking, look no further. From kits and boards to fixings and accessories, we’ve got everything you need to create an outdoor space that’s made to be enjoyed all year round.
Our EZIDECKING boards come in five striking colours, so there’s plenty of choice when it comes to finding a look that suits your garden. Best of all, they have an anti-slip finish on both sides for extra grip underfoot, perfect for those wet and rainy autumn days. Interested?
