Proud owner of a static caravan?

You’re not on your own. It’s reported there are currently 365,000 caravan holiday homes and more than 100,000 used as permanent housing.

Whether you’ve purchased a caravan to call home, for holidays, for business or pleasure, you’re probably wondering what else you can do to make it more appealing.

The answer is easy – install composite decking!

Unsure how decking can make much difference? Let the team at Modern Garden explain.

How decking can boost your caravan’s appeal

Composite decking is ideal in any location, but it can really enhance the look, feel and practicality of a caravan.

Here’s how:

Additional room

Much as we’re a nation of caravan lovers, they’re not famed for space. Meaning any extra elbow room is always going to be a boon.

Adding a decked area to your caravan pitch allows you to spread out – making what would otherwise be relatively unused space, part of your home. Resulting in a caravan that not only looks bigger but feels it too.

Use the area to cook – decking is the perfect spot to pitch the barbeque – or create an additional dining or relaxed seating area. You could even fit balustrades and a lockable gate to create a safe place for the kids to play or the dog to pad about.

An all-weather area

Bad weather keeping you cooped up? Does the surrounding ground quickly churn into a mud bath when it rains (which then gets traipsed inside!)?

Surround your caravan with decking and, voila, problem solved.

Somewhere to exercise

With the rise of online exercise classes, people are keen to keep up good habits. But with limited floor space in a caravan, where can you spread out your exercise mat?Easy – on the decking. With a decked area you can step out into your own private workout space, prop up the iPad, shut the door on distractions and get exercising.

Increase storage

Caravan holidays are crying out for muddy boots, sandy wellies, fishing nets, bikes and kites. All great fun but when space is already at a premium, where do you go with it all?

Decking gives you additional space to store holiday paraphernalia without trying to cram everything inside. And – if your decking is raised – it’s often possible to create storage underneath, keeping your belongings out of sight and safely stowed.

Maximise your location

Caravan sites are rarely flat, and composite decking is a great way to level out your pitch. It also raises you up and helps to take advantage of the views on offer.

Attract more business

A deck enveloping your caravan makes it look more attractive and well maintained. Better for you, your site neighbours and certainly better if you’re looking to attract bookings.

Aid access

Make negotiating access to your caravan easier for everyone, regardless of mobility. With decking it’s easy to level out surfaces, raise entry levels and build ramps.

Why choose composite decking for your caravan?

Ok, so we’ve established decking is a must for caravans but timber decking or composite? It doesn’t make much difference, right?

Wrong.

If you’re going to get the most out of building a new decking area, composite decking is the clear choice for caravans.

Composite decking is strong, durable and extremely low maintenance. Great if your caravan is primarily used as a bolt hole – meaning you can spend less time on chores and more time relaxing!

Summer sunshine or winter wind and rain, composite decking performs in all conditions. Hardy to UV rays and with a unique anti-slip surface, you can safely use your decking all year round.

And with no ongoing maintenance costs, all the benefits we’ve already outlined (and probably many more we haven’t!), adding composite decking is a winner for increasing the value of your caravan.
