Decking steps with built-in lights

Using composite decking in your garden is a great way to make your garden low maintenance.

Decking steps help the area be more accessible whether it is due to the garden being uneven or the decking area being elevated.

Adding lighting to your decking steps not only adds a design feature to your garden, it will also lights up your garden on those late summer nights and make your decking a much safer area, https://www.downlightsdirect.co.uk/outdoor-lighting/led-decking-lights.html have a great range of suitable decking lights

Many lighting options are now solar powered which makes them easier to install. Another great option is to recess the lights into the decking making for a seamless, stylish finish.

Split level decking area

A split-level composite deck allows you to make maximum use of your garden without taking up too much space.

You can use split-level decking to define areas of your garden. For instance you can have a dining area and then a seating area for nighttime relaxing.

Adding steps down onto another deck level makes your garden feel more spacious and defines areas easier.

Decking step ideas

Decking steps can be a simple as one step down or a complete staircase.

If you have a high raised decking area and you don’t want a straight staircase you can add an angle to your design to soften the look of the steps 

Composite decking is a great material to use for steps as it is low maintenance, will last longer and less slippery than traditional timber. For a neat finish you can use our composite trims to hide any raw edges. Or take a look at our composite step edge which will save time and effort.

Decking steps with storage

If the ground underneath your decking steps and deck area is relativley level and you have enough room between the ground and the joists then converting this area into storage is a project worth considering. Built-in under storage is great if you are stuck for space.
 

Another design feature you can add to your steps is planters to add a pop of colour to your decking.

One Response

  1. Just wanted to say thank you for the composite edging trims. I ordered the wrong colour which you delivered in two hours to Sheffield, but brought them back yesterday and swapped with no issues. Your products look great, I’m sure we will be using you in the future on our customer’s decking projects.

    Many thanks
