This week at Savoy Timber, we\u2019ve taken the liberty of recommending some summer-specific essentials for you to splash out on in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Garden Pergola<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-882 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fun-Summertime-Accessories-For-Your-Decking-1.jpg\" alt=\"pergola kit\" width=\"770\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fun-Summertime-Accessories-For-Your-Decking-1.jpg 770w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fun-Summertime-Accessories-For-Your-Decking-1-300x129.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re starting strong with an old summer favourite \u2013 the ever versatile Pergola kit. Depending on your budget, it can be as modest or sophisticated as you like. While the semi-permanent, solid-structure versions definitely make an impression, you won\u2019t be losing out by going cheap and cheerful either. After all, its main job is to give you a bit of a break from the scorching summer sun, and both types are equally up to the task. Ultimately, how flashy you want things to be from there is entirely up to you!<\/p>\n<h3>Kids Sandpits And Paddling Pools<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fun-Summertime-Accessories-For-Your-Decking-sandpit.jpg\" alt=\"sandpit\" width=\"770\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fun-Summertime-Accessories-For-Your-Decking-sandpit.jpg 770w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fun-Summertime-Accessories-For-Your-Decking-sandpit-300x129.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re continuing right along the same track with two classically summery ways for your kids to while away the day. You can set them up on the grass nearby or on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/decking.html\">garden decking<\/a> itself \u2013 depending on the age of your children, they can always be within arm\u2019s reach if something goes a bit pear-shaped. There\u2019s nothing children like more than splashing about in knee-high water, or building overly-ambitious sandcastles. And the best thing about them is that they both only need the most cursory of clear ups afterward. Water quickly dries, especially in hot weather, whereas sand can be swept up within just a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Quick word of advice from us here at Savoy Timber: if you decide to go for the sandpit option, just make sure you\u2019re sitting upwind. Just in case.<\/p>\n<h3>Cosy Garden Chairs &amp; Furniture<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/How-To-Liven-Up-Your-Decking-For-Summer-1.jpg\" alt=\"garden furniture\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/How-To-Liven-Up-Your-Decking-For-Summer-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/How-To-Liven-Up-Your-Decking-For-Summer-1-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve nothing against patio furniture; most of the year it does the job perfectly well. It\u2019s serviceable, it\u2019s reliable and it\u2019s weatherproof. But with all this lovely sunshine now washing over the lawn, wouldn\u2019t you want something more comfortable to kick back in? Maybe there\u2019s a particular armchair in the living or dining room you\u2019ve got your eye on, that might be equally comfortable outside. You might as well take advantage of the weather while it\u2019s around \u2013 combine the best of your garden with the best of your living room!<\/p>\n<h3>A Barbecue Or Grill<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-789\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Can-You-Cook-Barbecues-On-Your-Decking-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"positioning barbecue\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Can-You-Cook-Barbecues-On-Your-Decking-1-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Can-You-Cook-Barbecues-On-Your-Decking-1-1-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get cooking! Nothing says \u2018summer\u2019 like a quintessential British barbecue. It can be a large scale family get-together, a quiet one with one or two friendly neighbours, or just for you and your household. In case you\u2019re worried about your decking catching fire from a stray spark, don\u2019t worry \u2013 you shouldn\u2019t be! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/can-you-cook-barbecues-on-decking\/\">A previous blog of ours<\/a> goes into more detail, but basically it\u2019s just a matter of not all woods being the same; whether hardwood decking\u00a0or softwood, your decking is designed not to go up like a flare at the merest hint of a spark. Grill away!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you might find none of these to your fancy \u2013 or you might find all of them. It\u2019s all up to you! Most of all, it\u2019s just a matter of enjoying your decking to the maximum in some glorious summer sunshine. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ve still got a long couple of weeks of it ahead!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t forget to follow us on Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/savoytimber\">@SavoyTimber<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s fair to say British summertime is a bit notorious on the international stage \u2013 as a nation, we\u2019re not known for the length or intensity of our summers.
