Adding a balustrade or decking to a caravan offers several benefits and enhances the overall experience for caravan owners. Our experts explain the reasons why investing in decking and balustrades for your caravan is a game-changer.

From increased functionality and aesthetics to increasing the resale value, discover the many reasons to why you should invest in caravan decking.

Expand your living space

With decking, you can extend your caravan's usable space, effectively creating an outdoor haven. Imagine stepping out onto a beautifully designed deck that offers a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors.

This expanded area provides ample room for outdoor furniture, BBQs, and leisure activities, enabling you to make the most of your caravan's surroundings.

Unleash your creativity

Decking and balustrades present an opportunity for customisation, allowing you to unleash your creativity and personalise your caravan space.

From selecting different materials, colours, and finishes to incorporating lighting and decorative elements, you can create a unique outdoor oasis that truly reflects your style and taste.

Different hues of grey deck boards are still extremely popular to match in or contrast with the current trends of anthracite windows and doors. If you are looking for something that has a more warm homely finish, then check out Trex decking and their range of composite deck boards that are available in a wide range of warm colours.

Ensure safety and security

Safety should always be a priority, especially when it comes to outdoor spaces.

Installing balustrades around your decking area ensures the safety of your loved ones, providing a protective barrier against accidental falls.

The addition of a gate will always bring that extra level of security and safety at the top of steps or as a barrier to ponds or similar hazards. Talking of steps there are regulations to think about when building steps.

Did you know the Rise that is the height between step treads should be a minimum of 150mm and a maximum of 220mm. The 'Going' is the depth of the step tread (front to back), should be a minimum of 223mm and maximum of 320mm.

This is particularly crucial if your decking is elevated or if you have children or pets enjoying the outdoor space.

Elevate aesthetics

Decking and balustrades instantly elevate the visual appeal of your caravan. They enhance the overall aesthetics, transforming your outdoor space into a charming and welcoming retreat.

Whether you opt for natural timber, composite materials , or prefer sleek modern static caravan decking designs, it will exude style and sophistication, catching the envy of fellow campers.

Enjoy outdoor relaxation

Caravan life is all about embracing nature and enjoying the great outdoors. With a well-designed decking area, you'll have a dedicated space for relaxation and rejuvenation.

If having a balustrade don’t forget to take into account where end posts will finish, is there a window or drainpipe for example.
