<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is the state of your garden making you a bit sad? Are you sick and tired of everyone&#8217;s garden looking better than yours? Or the judgmental looks you get from your neighbours? Fear not, we will look at some ways you can turn your sad little garden into a beautiful and magical space that everyone will love! There are quite a few things that you can do to make your garden look better. Let us have a look at some gardening tips that will make your garden stand out.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Think About Adding a Deck&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a feature that will definitely have a great impact on your property. <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> can help you with this by building you the perfect deck to expand your living space and <a href="https://www.property24.com/articles/10-ways-to-improve-the-value-of-your-home/26034" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">addding value to your property</a>&nbsp; This is an aesthetically pleasing choice as you can decide how you want the design, colour, and accessories to be. You can truly make it stand out by adding chairs, plants, and other decorative pieces. You can even use a section of your new deck as a storage space to make your garden space neat and clutter-free.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Artificial Grass&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want a gorgeous lawn that is low maintenance and will look good all year round, consider getting artificial grass. There are so many varieties to choose from that you will definitely find one that will fit your style and budget. One of the biggest benefits of artificial grass is that it is ever-lasting and it will always look good. No more dry or muddy patches and no more excessive water use. Here is a balcony gardening tip: If you have a balcony, you can add artificial grass to create a very stylized and put-together look.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artificial grass withstands high volumes of foot traffic and is resistant to wear and tear. It is also easy to cut and shape allowing it to be used in oddly shaped areas or in a variety of patterns.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Container Gardening&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Container gardening g is an excellent way to add some colour and dimension to your garden. You can get really creative and plant beautiful flowers or succulents in colourful containers of all shapes and sizes. Here is a container gardening tip: Add some beauty and colour to your deck by placing them in a spot where all your guests can see them. Make your container garden a design feature by doing research on some <a href="https://www.housebeautiful.com/uk/garden/designs/g28/garden-ideas-on-a-budget/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DIY gardening tips</a> that can help you add your own personal touch &#8211; like making your own plant labels and painting your own containers or pots.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lighting&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not only is this a practical way to make sure that people do not stumble in the dark, but it can also create a beautiful atmosphere in your garden space. Be creative with it and add fairy lights, lanterns, and little, cute solar lights to your garden, or even on your deck, to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Lights in your garden can also be seen as a safety feature&nbsp; because it will be easier to see where that weird noise is coming from at 2 am!&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tidy Up&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You will be surprised how much of a difference this can make. Sweep your deck and patio, pick up gardening tools that are laying everywhere, and make sure that your garden is weed-free. Make sure you have a designated space to pack all your tools and equipment like in the corner of your deck or in a garden shed. Weeds can distract from the beauty of your landscape and can even damage the plants you are purposefully trying to grow in your garden. If left untouched, weeds can begin to destroy your concrete as well. You’ll have to pull out the weeds on a regular basis or it will turn your beautiful garden into a jungle!&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get Bold with Colour&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ditch the black and white paint for a bit and reach for the neon pink instead! Adding a pop of colour to your garden is a good way to create a happy and trendy garden space. Feel free to be as creative as you want with it. Add a pop of colour to your garden by only painting your chairs or pots a bright colour or go absolute colour crazy and paint everything a different colour. Imagine your guests walking towards your deck and being delighted by all these beautiful colours!&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accessorise&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a great way to spice up your garden. If you have a deck, you can make this space beautiful and unique by adding elements and furniture that complement the rest of your home&#8217;s design style. If you want to tan a bit, you can add an umbrella for those lazy summer days or even a deck chair. If you love to cook, we recommend adding a barbeque and dining area to have lovely outside dinners.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, you decided to add a deck to your home. You thought long and hard about it, and now you are ready to take it to the next level and figure out exactly what you’d like your deck to look like. At the end of the day, your goal is to create a space where you want to spend time and where you and your family and friends can have a good time. But, how do you design the perfect deck? Let’s have a look.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are our 4 tips to design the perfect deck:&nbsp;</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Work with Professionals  </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want to have a beautiful-looking deck that is done in a professional and timely matter, work with professionals to design and build your deck. One of the worst things you can do is to try to do it yourself or get unreliable contractors. It will end up costing a ton of time and money. You want to make sure your deck is built with high-quality material and that it is built to last. You do not want to struggle with issues afterwards or spend time and money repairing unnecessary issues. <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> has many years of experience and has completed many successful decking projects.&nbsp; <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> will ensure that your deck will be of excellent quality and that you will be satisfied with the result.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consider Composite Decking  </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/composite-wood-products" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Composite decking</a> is engineered by combining quality plastic and wood fibers and is low maintenance and long-lasting &#8211; even in harsh weather conditions. <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> offers a variety of colours and finishes to suit all your needs and preferences. Composite decking is budget-friendly, and you won&#8217;t have to spend all your time on maintenance and products like paint, sealing, and varnishing. Another benefit is that it’s good for the environment. It is made from 100% recycled materials and is also safe for your family and pets. There are no rough patches or splinters that can hurt your loved ones.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What is the Use of Your New Deck?  </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is an important question to ask yourself as this will have a huge, if not the biggest, influence on your design elements, colours, and your design choices in general. Deciding what you will use your deck for will give you the direction you should pursue. If you love entertaining, you have to make sure that it is big enough for guests and that you have enough moving and seating space. If you love cooking, ensure all the cooking essentials are there and have a designated space to prepare and cook your food. You have to consider how you live so that you can create a comfortable space designed specifically for your needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Add on Design Elements  </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here comes the fun part. A deck can be a fun, beautiful, and important addition to any home. Try to customize it so that it goes well with the rest of your home design. Remember, this is a space where you will probably spend a lot of time so make sure you use lighting, colour, and furniture that you love. Add plants and décor pieces to make it a space where family and friends can have a fun time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your home&#8217;s entertainment space may be limited. Are you interested in adding a deck to this space to accommodate your hosting needs? If so, you have arrived at the right place. United Decking&#8217;s plastic composite decking is just what you need if you&#8217;re searching for long-lasting, wood-looking decking material.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Composite decking, often known as synthetic decking, is a relatively new product in the industry, but it already provides several advantages to those who choose it over wood. <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/2022/05/12/why-you-should-consider-composite-decking/" data-type="post" data-id="2754">Composite decking</a> offers a longer lifetime and a level of durability that cannot be attained with wood. Typically, these decks are built from a blend of vinyl and recycled polymers, which are resilient and long-lasting even when exposed to the harsh African environment and weather. It is thus realistic to anticipate that your deck will readily outlast 25 years.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Exactly Is It?&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">United Decking&#8217;s plastic decking gives several advantages to homeowners who need a low-maintenance, long-lasting outdoor decking material. Plastic decking is composed of virgin plastic or plastic that has been recycled, as well as additives. Manufacturers of deck boards employ polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/2022/05/16/fascia-board-vs-pvc-board-vs-composite-decking/" data-type="post" data-id="2759">polyvinyl chloride (PVC) </a>as the primary component. Additives improve the performance of plastic decking, while pigments provide color.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Surely you have heard about composite plastic? Unlike entirely synthetic plastic decking, composite decking comprises both plastic and organic materials. The combination of virgin or recycled plastic with recycled wood fibres, such as sawdust, is used by manufacturers. The ratios of wood to plastic varies depending on the kind of deck. Composite decking offers advantages over conventional wood but still includes porous woods that will eventually deteriorate.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is It Useful To Use Plastic Decking?&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Compared to traditional wood and composite decking, plastic decking planks provide a tremendous bargain. Plastic decking is immune to water and insects since it is made entirely from synthetic materials. The maintenance-free decking requires no sanding, sealing, painting, or staining. They provide safety benefits such as a splinter-free and slip-resistant surface. Plastic decking planks are also more environmentally friendly than wood.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plastic decking addresses various drawbacks of wooden decking. Unlike wood decking, low-maintenance plastic decking does not need sanding, sealing, painting, or staining. Plastic decking protects against splinters. Plastic decking cannot absorb rainwater or attract insects without biological components. Plastic decking considerably extends the life of your project, delivering value for generations.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The slide resistance of plastic decking relies on the board&#8217;s brand and design. United Decking&#8217;s decks include a surface with a deep wood grain-like effect for superior slide resistance. The products of United Decking meet or surpass the Coefficient of Friction (COF) criteria for slip resistance and are actually more slip-resistant when wet.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefits Of Plastic Decking?&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plastic has penetrated the decking business during the last few decades. Homeowners no longer accept standard wood decking, preferring instead maintenance-free materials that will endure for generations. Although composite decking contains plastic, United Decking&#8217;s 100 percent synthetic decking gives homeowners unrivalled advantages. Here are a few benefits:&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Maintenance-Free Decking&nbsp;</strong></li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To minimize high maintenance expenses, homeowners often move from wood to plastic decking. In contrast to wood, plastic decking does not need to be stained, painted, sealed, or sanded. Additionally, synthetic decking resists fading and stains. Once builders install plastic boards, homeowners need just use soap and water to clean their decks periodically.&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Safety Benefits&nbsp;</strong></li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plastic decking offers safety advantages. Frequently, splinter-free plastic deck planks include a wood-grain surface for increased slide resistance. Due to their weatherproof and waterproof properties, plastic decks and docks considerably decrease the chance of collapse.&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Durable Decking: Waterproof and resistant to the elements&nbsp;</strong></li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plastic decking excludes organic materials such as wood, making it weatherproof and watertight. Synthetic decking is resistant to mold, mildew, and water damage. There is no natural material on plastic decking for insects to consume or nest in, avoiding pest infestation. Plastic deck planks are impervious to precipitation, snow, and intense heat.&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Simple installation&nbsp;</strong></li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Builders and individuals may install composite decking in the same manner as conventional wood. To get the best plastic decking planks design for your project, rip, route, and edge plastic decking from United Decking. Not to mention the composite decking prices per m2 are far cheaper than wood!&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Applications and Aesthetics&nbsp;</strong></li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With wood-grain designs and a range of hues, contemporary plastic decking boards seem and feel more natural. Options for colour vary from dark wood tones to contemporary greys and beyond. Synthetic railing, gates, and even plastic piling coverings for docks may be used to create a bespoke, complimentary aesthetic for an outdoor environment.&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>The Overall Worth of Plastic Decking&nbsp;</strong></li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plastic decks and docks increase the value of a property and help homeowners save money in the long term by reducing maintenance and repair expenses. According to the 2019 Cost vs. Value Report from Remodelling Magazine, homeowners may return up to seventy percent of the cost of a wood composite deck expansion. We predict that installing a plastic deck will provide an even greater return since purchasers recognize synthetic boards&#8217; increased lifetime and sturdiness.&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the best additions to any home is an outdoor deck area. A deck provides space for your family to relax and braai with friends, host dinner parties, or just bask in the sun on a beautiful summer&#8217;s day. Think deck chair with a soft cushion, a book, and an iced drink. That kind of basking. There are so many options that are available to you when you&#8217;ve got your very own deck at home, and in our South African climate, it&#8217;s a no-brainer – you need a deck.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the demand and popularity of outdoor decks have increased, there too has been an increase in options for <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/2022/05/16/fascia-board-vs-pvc-board-vs-composite-decking/" data-type="post" data-id="2759">outdoor decks</a>. The variety that&#8217;s on offer today when it comes to the kind of deck you want is very vast. While this is great in terms of innovation, it can pose a very real problem of what kind of deck to choose. So, how <em>do </em>you go about choosing the right deck? </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First, Budget&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first thing anyone that&#8217;s wanting to purchase a deck should consider is what kind of budget they&#8217;re on. Determining how much you&#8217;re willing to spend on a deck will determine everything else thereafter. From the size of the deck to the materials and the kind of design of the deck, all of this and more can only be decided once a budget is finalised. This can be a daunting part of the process, especially if you&#8217;re not looking to break the bank. Fortunately, there are great affordable options available!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Second, Think About the Deck You Want&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When considering the kind of deck you want for your home, the material you choose to use for it is vital. While wooden decking is the traditional option, you would do well to consider composite decking as an alternative. Also known as plastic decking, composite decking provides a low-maintenance, eco-friendly option for those looking to save some money on their new deck. It&#8217;s made from wood fibres that are encased in plastic and is a perfect option for what can be a harsh and warm South African climate.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Third, Find A Good Supplier&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finding good and trustworthy wood decking suppliers can be tricky, especially in Boksburg, and the search is often not given as much time as it should be. Working with quality composite decking suppliers that have experience and knowledge could be the difference between the deck of your dreams and the deck of your nightmares. A supplier like <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> specialises in composite decking and works with you to create and mould the deck that you desire. They offer composite decking in a variety of colours and finishes and are passionate about turning your vision into a reality.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Finally, Take the Step to Your New Deck&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you’ve considered all of the above, you’ll be in a good position to take the final step in making your dream deck come true. Taking this step alone is not ideal, that’s why <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> work closely with you at each stage of the development and creation of your deck, right up to the installation and completion of your favourite new feature.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, you finally made up your mind to have a deck at your home. You have a budget in mind and you know where you would like your new deck but you are still thinking about what type of material and wood will be the best to use for your new deck. Let us have a look at what would be the best wood to use.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Choose The Best Option for Your Needs&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> there are multiple materials and styles to choose from. But there are a couple of things to consider when you choose what wood to use. Consider the following when looking for the best decking wood.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The overall lifetime and durability&nbsp;</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Resistance to the elements&nbsp;</li><li>The cost of materials&nbsp;</li><li>The look and feel you are going for&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The material that your deck is made out of will have a huge effect on the overall lifetime and durability. Different types of materials and wood have different types of resistance to the elements. You should also consider things like rotting, moisture, the cost, and also insects that love themselves a wooden snack and home!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are looking for wood that is very low maintenance and does not need cleaning regularly, composite wood might be a good option for you. Composite decking is very popular and is made from recycled plastic and wood fibres in it. It comes in a wide range of options and colours. <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/#composite-decking" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> will make sure you get the perfect type of composite wood that will suit your style. While they often cost more than wood, <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/composite-wood-products" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">composite materials</a> offer the promise of greater durability and less maintenance.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sustainability&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also something to consider. Yes, yes. By now we know that global warming is bad and that we should live greener. But something we do not realize is the fact that not using eco wood has a profound effect on the areas where it’s harvested, including human rights abuses, hunting of endangered species, threatening the lifestyles and even the lives of indigenous tribes, as well as making countless rare and threatened creatures homeless.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maintenance&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wood is still the most common choice for deck material, but it doesn&#8217;t last forever and it can be very expensive if you think about all the treatments and maintenance involved.&nbsp; Wooden decks and timber decks are beautiful too as it has a natural charm and raw beauty to them that will add elegance and style to any home. However, this type of wood can be very sensitive to the elements, so keep that in mind.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whatever wood you decide on you also need to keep in mind that this is a long-term commitment and that maintenance is a huge part of that. The sun, spillage, rain, and movement on your deck all leave marks and stains on your deck. You have to make sure you are using the correct cleaning methods and products for your type of wood. These are all the types of things to consider when you think of the best type of wood to use.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You would love to have a deck. You would love to sit on your deck, drink in hand, and just relax. You would love to entertain friends and family on your new deck. You think it will really add some charm to your house. But here is the issue. You are not sure about the next steps. There are a couple of things to consider and know before you start building your dream deck. Let us take a look.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Budget&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before you start dreaming about the perfect deck, you should consider how much money you would like to spend. Your budget will determine the size, design, and materials of your deck. Also consider the extras, such as flower boxes, railings, built-in seating, and lighting. Fortunately, at <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> the staff will walk you through the process and make sure that all your needs are met and that you will find something beautiful within your budget.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Deck&#8217;s Purpose and Function&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is one of the <a href="https://www.builddirect.com/learning-center/outdoor/why-build-deck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first questions</a> to ask yourself if you are interested in adding a deck to your home. What are you going to use it for?&nbsp; Do you want a space to have big gatherings? As a pool area? Or perhaps you would like a space for all your gardening. The purpose and function of your deck are important as they can determine your budget, the style of your deck, and also the location of your deck.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Think About What You Want&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You should think about different decking available whether it is plastic decking or composite decking. Think about the type of decking suppliers, wood decking suppliers, and composite decking suppliers. If you are looking for composite decking, a decking supplier in Germiston like <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> would be perfect to help you decide what will be the best options and show you all the beautiful products and materials available.&nbsp;</p>

Their composite decking is beautiful and is made to resemble the real wooden look. So, if that is the look and feel you are going for, it can definitely become a reality and the end result will look absolutely stunning.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Location&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Where do you want your deck? Sometimes this is an easy choice but other times you really need to think and consider certain factors. You have to think about how big you actually want your deck. Do you want it to be a cute, small, and romantic spot or do you want space to have big celebrations? You should decide whether you want it in the shade or in a sunny spot at your home.&nbsp; Think about creating privacy from the nosy neighbors but also consider where you have the prettiest view. At the end of the day, you want to create a beautiful space that you will enjoy all year round.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The age-old war comes to an end! As new technologies emerge, and the threat of global warming begins to intensify, is there a difference between a wooden deck and a plastic one? Many homeowners have spent their well-earned money on both of these options in pursuit of the perfect outdoor space, but which one should you go with? This can be a tricky decision to make because both options provide great advantages in their own right. A wooden deck provides a familiar and reliable option, while plastic decking is definitely king when it comes to maintenance. However, are these the only things that matter when choosing a deck? Let’s find out.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wood Decking&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most popular and traditional choice, wooden decking is advantageous to a homeowner as it provides durability as well as availability. There’s very little that can go wrong when you install a wooden deck into your space, and with the added advantage of pleasing aesthetics (who doesn’t love the look and smell of fresh timber decking?), and moderate costing, it’s no surprise that people might choose this over a plastic (also known as composite) deck.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are, however, a few disadvantages to having a wooden deck. It&#8217;s not always advantageous, as some Africans may tell you, as it can be extremely tough to preserve wooden decking boards in the harsh climate of Africa, with rot and splintering among the top causes of stress for homeowners. As much as climate may affect the wood, there&#8217;s also the very real downside of most wooden decks having to undergo a full treatment every two to five years, consisting of sanding, sealing, and painting, among other routine, effort-filled jobs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Plastic Decking&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plastic composite decking is still a relatively new kind of product in the decking industry, but it certainly provides some winning advantages that those who would choose a wooden deck will not be able to enjoy. While composite decks may be more expensive than wooden ones, possibly the biggest upside to plastic decks is that they&#8217;re virtually maintenance-free. Plastic decking planks are a hybrid-type material that is made of wood fibres that are encased in stain-resistant plastic. This material is highly durable and can outlast the harshest of weather, which means that there&#8217;s no worry of rotting or warping or any other issue that a wooden deck may give, as well as no need for any sanding or painting whatsoever.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies like <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> also offer a variety of colour and wood-grained options for your composite deck to make sure you&#8217;re getting the look and feel that you&#8217;re after. In addition to this, composite decking materials are usually made up of recycled and eco-friendly materials that not only give you a long-lasting deck but a clear conscious, too!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the end of the day, the choice of whether to go with a wood or plastic deck is completely dependent on personal preference. If you’re a sucker for the completely rich, natural look and feel of a wooden deck, and you don’t mind the inevitable costs of maintenance down the line, then a wooden deck might be the one for you.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other hand, if you’re looking for a low-maintenance deck that will last longer and <a href="https://www.greenprophet.com/2021/03/composite-decking-to-be-eco-friendly/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have less of a negative impact on the environment</a>, then plastic composite decking is the deck for you. A company like <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Decking</a> offers composite decking that&#8217;s free from splinters and cracking, as well as toxins. You can rest assured knowing that you&#8217;re only getting the best in quality, with the advantage of low maintenance, and material that is 100% recyclable.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A spectacular deck may be the most beautiful feature of a house and the highest maintenance in the spring. As winter comes to a close, individuals will spend tens of thousands of rands to restore their decks to their pre-wear and tear condition.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Composite decking, a low-maintenance alternative to wood, should be considered as a better alternative.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are currently over 50 varieties of the finest composite decking when there were formerly just a few.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You won&#8217;t need to repaint your deck every spring, you won&#8217;t have to worry about termites, and your deck will always appear like new. Struggling to choose the optimal decking material? Here is the definitive guide to selecting the finest decking provider in Alberton&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budget First&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Composite decking is an excellent choice for individuals on a tight budget. Even the finest composite decking is far less expensive per square foot than wood. Find a design and colour variety of plastic and wood that complements the decor of your house.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Consider your deck&#8217;s size and the cost of installation methods. You may choose even the texture of the deck&#8217;s surface. You may discover fewer colours on the lower end of the budget scale but repeated grain patterns and smooth or combed finishes are always attractive.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A basic design and material deck will be extremely low maintenance and less expensive overall. Make every effort to design the deck using standard planks and railings. If you can design using these dimensions, you will save money and reduce waste.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Want to stretch your money even further? United Decking provides some of the most cost-effective composite decking.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Exactly Are You Looking For?&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are apprehensive about a composite deck because you want it to resemble wood, this can be done to the highest degree. The high-end composites have a beautiful grain pattern and feel and seem incredibly &#8220;wood-like.&#8221; Some United Decking selections have wood shadings and grain differences, so no two boards will be identical.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Working Closely With A Supplier Can Make Dreams Come True&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When working with United Decking to design your deck, it is important to consider the deck&#8217;s intended use. Is it just for you and your husband to use during the summer? Or do you intend to hold formal dinner parties on your patio? When building a deck for your house, consider its intended usage. Will children be present on the deck? Does the deck need securing? Consider the square footage of your deck so that you may have a sunset cocktail hour with your family and friends without feeling suffocated. Extend your house into the backyard by constructing a huge, airy deck out of the finest composite decking.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Find A Decking Supplier That Has Options For Our Climate </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Understand that <a href="https://uniteddecking.co.za/" data-type="page" data-id="1194">United Decking</a>&#8216;s dark and thick composite decking materials will get quite hot in direct sunlight. If you want to use your deck barefoot throughout the summer, you should generally avoid dark colours. In addition, if you are seated in a dark chair on your deck, the heat reflected off the plastic might cause you to sizzle. Obtain lighter-coloured composite samples and expose them to the sun before deciding which one to use. Test each sample&#8217;s temperature under various weather situations to determine the optimal composite decking for your location. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the past decade, there have been some very remarkable advancements in the field of decking materials. Homeowners who were previously limited to pressure-treated wood for their decks now have a broad selection of alternatives to choose from, including robust and long-lasting PVC decking, capped composite decking, and fascia boards.  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/margarida-afonso-Y1PPeGWwZ78-unsplash-21-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2760" srcset="https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/margarida-afonso-Y1PPeGWwZ78-unsplash-21-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/margarida-afonso-Y1PPeGWwZ78-unsplash-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/margarida-afonso-Y1PPeGWwZ78-unsplash-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/margarida-afonso-Y1PPeGWwZ78-unsplash-21-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/margarida-afonso-Y1PPeGWwZ78-unsplash-21-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite the fact that these goods seem to be identical, they each have their own set of characteristics and advantages. This article compares the advantages of PVC decking vs. capped composite decking against the fascia, and explains why a homeowner can&#8217;t really go wrong with either option.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fascia&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What is fascia board? Fascia board is affixed to the lower extremities of the roof trusses, spanning the space between the rafters and supporting the bottom row of tiles often. Moreover, fascia provides a house with a clean, organized, and attractive finish.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, this is not the sole function of fascia; one of its primary functions is to prevent moisture from entering the attic or entering the home&#8217;s interior. Commonly, the guttering is linked to the fascia board; thus, it is essential that the fascia board be frequently maintained and remains sturdy and in excellent shape. During severe rains, fascia boards may be required to support the weight of gallons of water in the guttering at any one moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fascia boards are plank-shaped with a lip at the bottom; this lip supports the soffit, and they are available in a variety of materials and styles. Fascia boards are available in a variety of lengths and widths, but the most common dimensions are 3 or 5 metres in length and 150mm to 250mm in width. Fascia board prices varies with materials PVC fascia board is cheaper than wood.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PVC&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PVC Decking offers a variety of advantages and solutions that homeowners have battled to discover for years with other decking materials. Homeowners have always desired a low-maintenance decking material, and PVC&#8217;s non-wood composition definitely satisfies this need.&nbsp; PVC fascia board suppliers will also maintain the notion that PVC fascia board installation is easier than composite.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To homeowners&#8217; satisfaction, capped PVC does not need to be sanded, stained, or sealed annually. In addition, no other decking material is available in such a broad range of natural-looking hues and wood textures.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PVC decking also has a sharp and clean appearance that cannot be found in any other decking material. It is also available at a range of prices, which, when paired with its minimal maintenance requirements and durability, will result in a reduced effect on a home&#8217;s budget over time.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Composite Decking&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Composite decking has seen significant transformations in recent years. They produce capped composite decking in a wide range of colours, thicknesses, and grain patterns to meet the needs of customers. The colour on the surface of these boards is now continuous throughout, rather than being limited to the surface coating, due to technological advances in manufacturing. This implies that composite decking is exceptionally resistant to wear and tear since scratches, dings, and dents will not be visible after the decking is installed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Capped composite boards are protected by a polymer cap that is not made of wood. This significantly improves the scratch, stain, and fade resistance of the product. In addition, it has good mold resistance properties.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Undoubtedly, one thing that distinguishes capped composite decking from other non-wood decking materials is its ability to mimic the appearance and feel of natural wood accurately. With all of the warmth and character of tropical hardwoods but with improved performance, capped composite is a great choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Better?&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Depending on the application, design, size, and budget you have for your outdoor decking area, a PVC or composite deck may be more suitable for meeting your requirements. Both boards are available in a variety of hues and need less upkeep than wood decking boards.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other hand, composite decking boards are created from 100 percent recycled materials, whilst PVC Plastic decking boards are not ecologically friendly. Plastic Decking (not PVC) is less expensive than Composite Decking. Composite Deck Boards are comprised of both natural and synthetic components, which gives them a wood-like appearance, excellent strength, and a variety of qualities. Plastic decking might seem artificial, is not as durable, and can fade in sunshine. Plastic (not PVC) decking is less expensive overall than composite decking. The materials for a Plastic Deck vs. a Composite Deck are easier and less expensive to purchase and assemble.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plastic boards are less costly than composite, but they are more susceptible to flexing and splitting. The appearance of the boards is also sacrificed for a lesser price, and they often seem synthetic and artificial. In contrast, wood-plastic deck planks are available in a variety of colours and have a natural, wooden appearance without the maintenance of a typical wood deck. On the other hand, PVC Plastic boards are often a better, premium form of decking, composed of PVC with an ASA inside for a sturdy, long-lasting board with an enhanced wood-like look.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp;Both the 100 percent plastic, composite decking, and fascia pricing are reflected in the final appearance and feel of the product &#8211; you get what you pay for. Composite vs. PVC decking, and which is best for your requirements, depends on how you want to use or construct your deck, your budget, and the style and colour you desire.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp;PVC and composite decking have a number of characteristics, including a non-slip/low-slip surface, ease of maintenance, and resistance to fading and scratching.&nbsp; However, if your deck will be subjected to severe loads and a high volume of foot traffic, PVC decking is the superior option because of its longevity and strength.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you long for pleasant nights spent drinking wine and staring at the sky from a brand-new or recently remodelled back deck? Fortunately, now is the ideal time to begin planning your new spring construction projects using composite decking in South Africa. So many decisions must be made before building a new deck can begin, but if you start collecting information now like decking suppliers in Johannesburg, you can make well-informed judgments when the time comes. It may also provide something to anticipate throughout winter&#8217;s cold, dark months!&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wood vs. composite decking should be one of the first considerations. There are advantages and downsides to any option, but the following are some of the most compelling reasons to pick composite decking.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="671" src="https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/composite-deck-1024x671.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2755" srcset="https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/composite-deck-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/composite-deck-300x197.jpg 300w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/composite-deck-768x503.jpg 768w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/composite-deck-1536x1007.jpg 1536w, https://uniteddecking.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/composite-deck-2048x1343.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Here are a few benefits of composite decking:</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Low Maintenance&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Composites do not need yearly sealing or staining, unlike wood. There are no splinters, twisting, warping, or decay, so you may safely construct and enjoy. The most straightforward approach to maintaining a composite deck is to sweep it as needed and sometimes spray it off. They are usually stain-resistant but may be cleaned with soap and water if necessary.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Durable With Minimal Environmental Impact&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Composite Boards are composed of wood scraps (sawdust, wood chips, or wood fiber bits) and polymers, thus their name. Because wood and recycled plastic decking are often recycled or recovered for composite decks are a more eco-friendly and sustainable decking material. There is never a need for toxic paint, sealants, or stains. They generate less trash on construction sites and endure far longer, reducing the number of visits to the landfill. They are resistant to mildew, stains, and fading and most composite decking suppliers in Gauteng provide a reasonable guarantee. With simple care and upkeep, these composite wood decking may serve several households.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cost-Effective With A High Resale Value&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re concerned about the condition of your deck when it comes time to sell, a fast Internet search reveals that decks may boost the value of your property by roughly 80 percent of the project cost.
