Your deck isn’t just somewhere to put a table and chairs — it’s your outdoor stage, your summer hangout spot, and maybe even your weekend sanctuary. With Trex composite decking, you can make it totally yours, from the colours and finishes to all the little details that bring it to life. Let’s explore how to personalise your space so it looks amazing and feels just right.
Pick a Colour That Speaks to You
First things first: colour! Trex has an impressive range, from warm, natural wood tones to sleek, modern greys. Some shades feature subtle streaking for a rustic vibe, while others are smooth and contemporary for a clean, minimal look. Want your deck to blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, or make it pop against your garden? The right colour sets the tone for the whole space — and the great news is there’s plenty of choice.
Finish Options: Look and Feel
Next up: finishes. Different Trex ranges give you options that go beyond just looks. Traditional woodgrain finishes give that classic, natural feel, while modern, clean-lined textures create a sleek, sophisticated aesthetic. And it’s not just about appearances — different finishes also impact slip resistance and underfoot feel, which makes a big difference around pools, patios, or busy areas. Your deck should look good and feel good every step of the way.
Accessories to Add Style (and Function)
Now for the fun extras! Accessories let you turn a simple deck into a fully personalised outdoor haven:
- Fascias and trims: perfect for that crisp, professional edge.
- Deck lighting: integrated options can add ambiance and safety when the sun goes down.
- Railings or edging: define your space or add a stylish touch.
- Hidden fixings: for a seamless, polished look using Trex-branded systems such as Trex Hideaway® — and yes, Southern Sheeting has everything you need.
Get Creative with Design
Composite decking isn’t just straight lines and rectangles. Trex lets you play with layouts — straight runs, picture frames, multi-level decks, or even curves, when installed with specialist heating tools such as Trex CustomCurve®. Your deck is your canvas, so go wild! A creative layout can turn a regular garden into a truly memorable outdoor space.
Low Maintenance = Long-Lasting Looks
Unlike timber, Trex is engineered to resist fading, so colours stay vibrant far longer than timber. That means more time enjoying your deck, fewer worries about upkeep, and a space that looks fantastic year after year.
Sustainability Matters
Feeling eco-conscious? Trex is made from 95% recycled materials, so you can enjoy a stylish deck while doing a little good for the planet too. It’s the perfect balance of design and responsibility.
