PVC Caravan Decking Boards

  

Decking your Caravan or Park Home

With the value of sterling at an all time low, the Great British public are currently looking at alternatives to continental holidays. This has been reflected in a surge of demand for the British holiday parks where Caravan Park and Park home purchases are on the up.

In a number of instances a Holiday Home is an Investment so it is important that the correct decking is chosen for the Caravan enabling the customer to extend their living area and gain the maximum out of their living space.

As a director in a company specialising in the sale of Domestic and Commercial decking products for the Caravan and holiday home market a question that keeps coming up is “Do I need a specific type of decking for my Caravan or Park home”  ?

The concept of a Low maintenance PVC caravan Deck or Veranda is not a new one there are currently a number of PVC products available on the market.

There are a number of reasons why you would want to purchase a PVC Decking product for your Caravan or Park Home.

• PVC Caravan Decking is Low Maintenance.
• PVC Decking boards used on Caravans are generally anti-slip.
• A Good quality PVC Decking board will carry a Class 1 Fire rating.
• Recycled materials used in construction of Decking boards.
• Variety of Decking Widths available in PVC finish.
• Drainage holes used in PVC Veranda boards.
• Easy Clean system.
• PVC Decking is available in a number of Colour Shades.

With Caravan and Park home managers currently phasing out the more traditional wooden decking boards the PVC decking option might be the only one available in the future for your Caravan or park home.

My Opinion on PVC Decking for the Caravan

PVC decking is a great option if you are after Low Maintenance the money spent maintaining your Wooden Decking over the years will quite often offset the initial cost of the purchase of the PVC Decking. This coupled with the Anti-Slip properties on the PVC decking for me makes it the most desirable option. However beware because the advantages will come at a cost. It is always worth shopping around for the best deal as the prices can vary considerably.

Composite & PVC Decking the Future

Plastic Garden Decking an alternative to Wooden Decking

 

I first came across garden Decking in 2001 when a representative from one of the larger Timber export companies came into our offices asking if we wanted to stock Timber Decking. For us it was a no brainer this was a value added product that complemented all of the Garden Fencing products that we were holding in stock in our Timber yard at the time.

Timber Decking

 

 

From then on Timber Decking went from strength to strength with a large portion of summer sales coming from Decking or Decking related product lines. Consumers saw the value in decking especially in the hills of Wales where in the past the only option available was tons of Hardstanding and a load of patio slabs. So what is going to happen in the future.

The Future of Garden Decking

The answer is basically who knows what the future holds for Decking design ?. However one thing that is sure is that a definite trend is starting to develop towards Maintenance free Composite or Low maintenance Decking products. This particular type or brand of Decking generally hosts advantages such as Low Maintenance along with improved slip resistance, these issues generally are the two main gripes that consumers have when quizzed on the question of Wooden Decking.

This is the way that I am going to go when it comes to replacing my own worn out wooden decking in the house. This is primarily down to the fact that my decking is directly situated next to my back door so it is being constantly used to access the garden and more importantly the washing line. I need something that is Anti – Slip and maintenance free.

If however I wasn’t constantly using the decking by the back door I would be more inclined to replace the old wooden decking with a new Wooden decking board.

PVC or Plastic Composite Decking comes at a price

However there is one major drawback and that is the COST. Composite or PVC Decking is generally a minimum of three times the price of a good quality timber Redwood Decking board. One thing to consider is that in the long term you wont have to pay for Decking treatment or maintenance products.

PVC or composite decking prices generally range anywhere from £5.00 per Linear Metre up to £12.50 Per Linear Metre.

Overall I think that wooden decking is still a good option as long as it is regularly maintained. Nevertheless it is now good to see that there are a number of alternatives available on the market.
