DIY Ideas for Composite Decking Offcuts
If you are choosing composite wood, it’s likely that you care about the environment, so it’s time for some upcycling as we run through some DIY ideas to get your creativity flowing.
Planters
What better way to compliment your new deck than with some new planters beside it. This DIY project is a popular one with many people using leftover composite decking offcuts to make planter boxes. This project is simple and only requires you to make a rectangle out of your offcuts, but in return you can create stunning gardens filled with natives, herbs, or flowers.
Outdoor Furniture
Assuming the new deck means that you love spending time outdoors, why not use the leftover composite decking offcuts to create some robust outdoor furniture. Given the strength of the composite, it should be relatively easy to add a new top to an old table or create some benches for the yard. If you consider yourself to be handy this is well worth a crack.
Walkways
Build a path that leads to your deck out of leftover offcuts. This is a great way to protect your garden and lawn and add some structure to your yard. These paths could be full walkways or just paver like steps depending on the look you are after and how much material is left over.
Cornhole
A little left of field but who doesn’t love a backyard game. Composite decking offcuts can be used to make a cornhole board that will be durable and last years on end. Just stick a few together, drill a hole, and grab some beanbags. This will provide hours of fun in your yard.
Bin Enclosure
If you think your wheelie bins are an eyesore why not build them an enclosure. Using leftover composite decking you can create an enclosure that is durable and hides the bins and gives them a place to love. Like the planters, this is an easy DIY task to execute.
Benefits of Using Composite Decking
Composite decking is a great alternative to traditional wood products that are highly durable and completely water resistant. This material is naturally resistant to termites, rot, decay, mildew, and mould making it perfect for decking and DIY projects. Get one in before the next summer.
