Lighting is one of the key areas where you can get really creative with your deck. The right light can transform your composite decking into a space that looks just as great at night as it does in the day. Decking lighting allows you to entertain guests or just chill out in your garden once the sun goes down.

Lights that are embedded into the decking are a very popular way to add light to a new deck. There are several key benefits to adding lights into your deck. Firstly, this lighting tends to be safe if you have small children, as it avoids using visible wires. Secondly, the bulbs don’t tend to be too bright, so the lighting will subtly compliment your deck and it won’t be intrusively bright and more importantly the lighting can be used to highlight any steps making those evening trips into the garden so much safer.

Even better, decking lights tend to be very economical. So, once your new Teckwood decking is in place, adding embedded lights will not break the bank, but it will make your new composite decking look stylish. Lights also make your deck far more versatile, because you will be able to sit out on in during the day or night.

Standard square or rectangular decks are classical shapes that will not go out of style. However, if you are investing in new composite decking, you might want to raise your game. Often raised decking and multi-level decking has in the past provided gardens with an interesting focal point.

However, ground level decking tends to be quite traditional. But now, even with ground level decking, people are increasingly interested in experimenting with shape.

Curved decking is also a good choice if you want to avoid harsh lines and if you want to create a gradual border between different areas of your garden. Be warned, circular decking and curved decking is harder to install than normal ground level decking. It also requires more skill to install. So, just be aware that if you choose circular or differently shaped decking, you will need to factor in the extra cost into your budget.
