Garden Decking

Easy to install garden decking

In our garden decking collection, you'll find classic boards beautifully crafted from wood and composite decking. The latter is made from 100% FSC® certified wood and reclaimed high density plastics, making it beautiful yet durable and easy to maintain. We also stock softwood decking if you're building a deck on a budget, and anti-slip decking to ensure a little extra safety for children.

For a simple, ready-made deck, try decking kits from Homebase. These are ideal for placing in a sunny corner of your garden to create a spot for relaxing or entertaining. These kits are simple to install and ready to be laid directly onto an existing patio or concrete base, especially alongside garden turf for a modern, natural look. Our decking accessories will ensure you have everything you need to get the job done, whilst our decking stains will complete the look and help prolong the life of your decking.

Interlocking deck tiles

Looking to create a decking space, but don't have the time or patience? Decking tiles are loved by renters and homeowners looking for a no-fuss garden makeover. Great for creating socialising zones on patios, balconies and concrete spaces, their click-together design makes installation simple.

We stock packs of deck squares perfect for outdoor spaces of all sizes. The most popular 30 x 30cm tiles come in packs of 20, 30 and 50, depending on the area you need to cover. Their thick and durable base makes these decking tiles a reliable alternative to traditional decking - not only do they instantly enhance a garden, but they're super easy to maintain.

Garden decking FAQs

How do you clean decking?

The best way to clean your patio decking is with a power or jet wash. Learn more about how to clean decking by reading our in-depth blog. It includes advice on what you should use and a step-by-step guide on using a pressure washer to get your patio shining.

How much does decking cost?

How much your decking costs will depend on a number of factors, including the size, design and material of your decking. The complexity of the installation (i.e. odd shapes or positioning) can also change the overall cost. We recommend getting in touch with a Homebase expert, browsing our range of garden decking online or visiting us in store to learn more about the cost of adding a deck to your garden.

How much decking do you need?

To work out how much decking you need for your garden, first measure the length and width of your intended area. A rectangular or square area is easiest for this, but you can split oddly shaped areas into rectangles or squares too and add up their individual measurements. Once you have the length and width of your area, multiply them together to work out the square meterage. Now you can work out how many pieces of decking you'll need for your garden patio.

How long does decking last?

How long your decking lasts depends on the type of material you choose. Softwood decking is more affordable but will typically last around 10 to 15 years. Hardwood decking, meanwhile, will cost a bit more but can last for as long as 25 years if you maintain it well. Need more guidance?
