Why composite decking suits Birmingham gardens
Birmingham isn’t the wettest UK city but it has its own set of challenges for timber decking. The Met Office records around 700mm of rainfall a year for Birmingham, spread across the year rather than in dry and wet seasons, so decks rarely get a chance to fully dry out. The heavy clay soil across much of the West Midlands holds moisture too, which means timber decking often rots from underneath long before it looks tired on top. Composite is a completely different material. Our boards are made from recycled wood fibre bound with HDPE plastic, so water doesn’t soak in the way it does with timber. No rot, no splinters, no annual staining. Birmingham’s housing stock is genuinely varied: interwar bay-window semis across Kings Heath, Moseley and Bournville, Victorian terraces in Harborne and around the Jewellery Quarter, post-war semis in Hall Green and Erdington, and significant new-build development along the canals and in the city centre. Composite works across all of them. For canal-side apartments and Jewellery Quarter conversions where balcony space matters, composite is often a better fit than timber because weight and maintenance are both lower. Boards are fully reversible, moulded woodgrain (Woodsman+) on one side, contemporary wide-groove (Active+) on the other.What a composite deck in Birmingham costs
