The Brief

The customer wanted a premium outdoor space that felt warm, natural and suitable for a poolside-style garden setting.
The aim was to create a deck that looked more authentic than a standard composite board, while still offering the practical benefits of modern composite decking.
The space needed to feel:
-
high-end
-
low-maintenance
-
weather-resistant
-
comfortable underfoot
-
visually connected to the garden
-
suitable for relaxing and entertaining
The customer wanted the look and warmth of timber, but without the regular upkeep that traditional timber decking can require.
The Proposal

DecKing proposed the Signature Collection in Antique.
Antique was chosen for its warm woodgrain appearance, natural depth and premium finish. It gives the space a timber-inspired look while keeping the long-term performance benefits of DecKing’s flagship composite range.
The Signature board is built with a dense composite core and a hard-wearing capped outer shell, helping protect the surface from everyday weather, moisture and garden use.
Key product benefits included:
-
authentic embossed woodgrain finish
-
solid capped composite construction
-
hard-wearing protective outer shell
-
hidden fixing system for a cleaner surface
-
low-maintenance outdoor performance
-
no regular painting, oiling or staining
-
25-year Signature warranty
The proposal was not just to install decking, but to create a refined outdoor living area that felt properly designed for the space.

The Result
The finished deck created a warm, premium and low-maintenance poolside-style outdoor space.
The Antique Signature finish gave the area a natural timber-inspired look, while the clean board lines and hidden fixing detail helped create a more polished, high-end finish.
The space now feels more complete, more usable and more suited to relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the garden.
