Key composite decking design considerations to guide and shape your decking installation for a stylish and functional outdoor space.
No two decking projects are built the same and many can often include additional features, such as decking steps or picture frames. Our guidelines on design considerations offer handy tips on how you can go about installing NeoTimber® products to best achieve these features on your project.
Picture Framing
Enhance the visual appeal of your deck by incorporating a stylish picture frame. Using either our standard deck boards or the NeoTimber® edge board, you can create a defined border around your decking area that adds depth, structure, and a polished finish.
Picture framing not only elevates the aesthetic of your outdoor space but also provides practical benefits, helping to protect the edges of your deck from wear and tear. This simple design addition allows you to personalise your deck while maintaining a professional, high-quality appearance.
Decking Steps
Create a safe and stylish step area by securely forming a step framework as the foundation for your deck. Using a sturdy framework ensures stability and longevity, providing the perfect base to attach our decking boards or trims. Properly constructed steps not only enhance the functionality of your outdoor space but also improve safety for everyone using the area.
Once your framework is in place, fix NeoTimber® boards or trims to the rise and tread of each step. This method delivers a clean, professional finish while maintaining durability and weather resistance. Well-installed steps seamlessly integrate with your decking, offering both practicality and a polished, high-quality look to your outdoor project.
