Choosing the right decking boards for your garden can be challenging. The market is saturated with a wide range of different styles, colours and sizes of deck boards, so where should you start? Well, one of the first things you should do when you're planning to add a deck to your garden is to measure the size of the deck.

Once you know how big the space for the new deck is, you can explore different decking sizes to work out which range is the most appropriate for you. Find out how big our decking boards are below.

With December 25th rapidly approaching, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas once again across the UK.

From flashing fairy lights and tacky tinsel to inflatable snowmen and ornate LED reindeer, people across the nation are showing off their Christmas spirit by decorating their homes with all the trimmings.

If you’re thinking of sprucing up your outside space this year, why leave your decking out in the cold? Get your deck in on the action by incorporating a little colour this festive season.

To help you transform your decking area into your very own winter wonderland, here are a few Christmas colour combinations to get you started.

Brown Deck

Perhaps the most popular decking colour in the UK, the natural browns of traditional wood-look decking lend themselves extremely well to a variety of Christmas colours.

In fact, three of the most festive colours that are synonymous with the Christmas period are green, red and gold – all of which work perfectly with natural woody browns.

If you have opted for a traditional brown-coloured deck, a combining two or more of these three colours is a sure-fire way to inject some Christmas spirit into your decking area.

Meanwhile, for a more sophisticated vibe, the combination of green with rustic copper tones blend well with the browns of the deck to provide a natural, autumnal finish.

For a more unusual combination, white and brown can also work surprisingly well, providing your space with a unique and memorable festive design.

Grey Deck

An increasingly common colour scheme in UK gardens, grey-coloured decking is a popular option for those seeking a contemporary solution to their outdoor design.

As luck would have it, this colour decking works extremely well with a wide variety of cool and unusual festive colours to provide you with an outdoor décor that truly stands out from the crowd over the Christmas period.

To ensure your decking decoration leaves a lasting impression on your friends, family and neighbours, why not adorn your grey deck with complimenting shades of purple? To take that colourful experimentation a step further, bright pinks also work surprisingly well.

For a more traditional look, reds and silvers work well together to give your deck a more conventional festive feel, while adorning your decking area with gold is also a great ay to bring classic Christmas appeal to your outside space.

White Deck

Much like the grey option, the illuminating brightness of white decking works particularly well with festive reds; however, it also lends itself to a whole host of other colours as well.

To create a colder, more wintry ambience, why not decorate your white decking area with a blue colour scheme to bring an icy theme to your outside space.

For a more colourful décor, why not meet in the middle of red and blue and light up your white decking with a touch of purple?

Meanwhile, if you’re looking to take a classier approach, white and gold never fail to work cohesively. Alternatively, for a stylish monochrome finish, black is the perfect yin to your deck surface’s yang.

For the ultimate decadent décor, why not combine the two for a bewitching black and gold garnish that’s guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
