Mostly 1’s: Warm & Earthy

If you got mostly 1’s, you’ll likely be a good match with a warm and earthy tone decking, such as the EasyClean Edge+ Oak Decking and EasyClean Reserve Dark Roast Composite Decking. This type of decking doesn’t stand out too strongly from the crowd, keeping any striking visual contrasts to a minimum. These dusky decking tones let the garden do the talking – opt for a composite decking that can be charming without stealing the show.

Mostly 2’s: Neutral and Cool

Neutral decking is the perfect option for those who got mostly 2’s – it’s neutral, easy to pair with different colour palettes and furniture, and classic. Some great examples of composite decking options for those who got mostly 2’s include WeatherDek Grey or EasyClean Edge Maritime Grey Decking.

Mostly 3’s: Moody & Chic

If you got mostly 3’s you’re probably compatible with a decking like WeatherDek Charcoal Composite Decking or EasyClean ReversaDek Light / Dark Composite Decking. They’re bold, modern, and will give your outdoor space a contemporary aesthetic like no other decking can.
