Decking is an easy way to transform your garden and make it more unique. With so many different kinds of decking on the market, it can be difficult to know which is right for your garden. Every home needs something different and here at Kennings, we are here to help with a comprehensive guide. Whether your garden is small or just needs a facelift, there is a decking type for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Softwood decking<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Softwood Decking Boards<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are extremely easy to work, with making them the obvious choice for those wanting to create a deck that friends and family can enjoy for years to come. If you love to customise your garden, softwood can be stained<\/a><\/strong> or treated<\/strong> <\/a>with our wide range of specialist products<\/strong> <\/a>to make your decking as unique as you are. Softwood<\/a><\/strong> is perfect for all gardens, particularly in seating areas alongside pergolas<\/a><\/strong> thanks to their matching shades.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can shop our wide range of softwood decking kits<\/strong><\/a> and individual boards<\/a><\/strong> on our website <\/a>today!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hardwood decking<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Balau Hardwood decking<\/a><\/strong> has natural anti-slip qualities as well as a built-in resistance to fungus and decay. Balau hardwood decking kits<\/a><\/strong> are a sound investment for any garden, thanks to their resistance and durability in all weather conditions. Whilst it does require yearly maintenance with a good clean<\/a><\/strong> and occasional treatment<\/a><\/strong>, hardwood decking is extremely resilient and not demanding. This means it’s perfect for families and areas with lots of foot traffic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Composite decking<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Solid composite decking kits<\/a><\/strong> are a fantastic way to inject new life into your garden. The boards are low maintenance, anti-slip, and perfect for families. While wood is a popular choice for decking, it doesn’t last forever. Composites<\/a><\/strong> can be more durable, have a wide range of colours available, and require much less maintenance. Whilst natural wood requires periodic staining<\/a><\/strong>, painting<\/a><\/strong>, and replacing<\/a><\/strong> sections that have begun to decay, composite decking<\/a><\/strong> only requires a yearly deep clean!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
