Transforming Your Outdoor Space: Innovative Decking Solutions

05/02/2024

The new year promises plenty, and whether you’re keen on spending more time outdoors with the family, or you’re an excited first-time homeowner looking to make some alterations to your garden space, decking could be a fantastic option.

Not limited to installation on larger gardens, decking can be installed within most outside spaces, providing a cosy and homely appearance, ideal for hosting friends, mounting flower bed installations, mini-bars or anything else desirable that comes to mind.

Within this helpful article, let the industry experts at Fitrite guide you through everything from creative options and installation tips, to accessories, additions and quick design guidance to consider.

Able to provide bespoke options for your home, we’re the go-to designers and installers covering the entire United Kingdom – so let’s begin!

Why Decking?

Aside from the obvious visual appeal, there are many reasons to invest in decking for your garden, and we’re delighted to offer several varieties, which each tick different boxes. UPVC Decking may be your preference, due to the fact it won’t rot, warp, crack, or split in harsh weather.

On the other hand, low-maintenance composite decking may have caught your eye – an environmentally friendly product made from a combination of recycled materials.

In a general sense, decking offers remarkable versatility and serves an important purpose too. Suitable for areas around ponds, pools, and water features due to effective waterproofing, as well as a sturdy build and visual longevity.

In action, these decks can serve as the perfect outdoor settings for dining and entertainment, with plenty of opportunities to accessorise and enhance. Drape fairy lights for those planned summer barbecues, protect yourself from rain by installing shade, or push the boat out with a Fitrite hot tub!

Getting Creative

Getting creative with decking is all part of the process, and with plenty of flexibility to how and where your installation can be arranged, why not make a project of it and get everyone involved?

Innovative decking solutions can enhance a family home, or elevate your gardening experience, with uPVC panels able to separate sections of your garden, perhaps allowing distinct sections for play, or arranging separate areas for your greenhouse, fruit and vegetable beds or floral arrangements.

We’re all about transforming outdoor spaces throughout The UK, having installed garden rooms, decking and fencing for sites including the exteriors of historic buildings, large stately homes and of course, more traditional domestic properties.

Intimate Outdoor Areas

Decking has the potential to be perfect for a closed-off outdoor area, allowing you to make the most of limited space, and transform it into a cosy and clutter-free haven. UPVC solutions provide an opportunity to create an inviting environment, enhancing the aesthetics of your existing garden while ensuring functionality.

By implementing your chosen style and colour effectively, you can utilise every inch, crafting a serene, comfortable, and organised retreat that seamlessly blends with the surroundings. Discover why our decking is lauded as a valuable investment for any intimate outdoor setting.

Large Outside Family Space

For families, decking provides opportunity to separate out different areas, with social seating on top of the elevated Fitrite decking, and perhaps a separate space on grass for a play area or garden outbuilding.

Our unique decking offers a versatile solution to deligate distinct zones within the outdoor space, and this strategic layout promotes functionality while enhancing the aesthetic appeal, catering to different social activities and preferences. With Fitrite, you’ll enjoy beautiful, low-maintenance decking that stands the test of time.

Small Garden Retreat

A small garden retreat at the end of your garden path can be transformed into near-anything, perfect for those with green fingers, or even those looking to create a workshop, home gym or hobby room.

A retreat pairing both decking and a garden outbuilding serves as an excellent canvas for those inclined towards crafting a versatile space – so why not embrace the freedom to design and transform this space into a haven that resonates with hobbies and interests?

We’ll take the time to understand your interests and needs, before setting up the foundations of your project and getting to work.

Accessories And Additions

Accessories and additions exist to improve the appearance and practicality of your decking once installed, or could even be factored in beforehand and built alongside.

Whether for security, visual appeal or accessibility, we can offer an individual quote to you, at a reduced price, completing all work as one project. Take a look at just a selection of our optional extras:

Fencing Gates

Alongside a fencing surround, introducing gates into your garden decking set-up is one way to clearly segment areas of your garden space, adding aesthetic appeal and safety.

These gates can act as a security measure when placed correctly with a corresponding fence, providing both functionality and elegance. The right gate can be used as a brilliant design feature, sectioning off the space, enhancing privacy, and complementing your overall garden.

Balustrades

Whether you are choosing a balustrade through necessity or desire, a Fitrite Balustrade will complement and enhance any deck. We can handle your balustrade installation with ease, be it for stylish glass clamps furnished with modern pickets, or square natural oak pickets in a classic 3 inch row design.

Steps

We’ll use steps to safely and efficiently section off the elevated areas of your garden, and similarly to gates and balustrades, different designs can compliment the overall appearance of your space. Typically, we recommend stair installations as a safety essential if there’s a drop between one section of your decking and the ground, without protective balustrades set in place.
