Creative garden Trex decking

Finishing a decking project often leaves you with extra pieces. Instead of discarding these Trex decking offcuts, why not turn them into valuable additions for your client’s garden? Known for its durability and weather resistance, Trex is ideal for several inventive outdoor projects. Here are some top ideas to transform these leftovers into beautiful and functional garden features.

1. Bespoke Garden Planters

Tailor-Made for Any Space: Turn Trex offcuts into custom planters that blend perfectly with the garden’s decking. These can be varied in size and height to suit different plants, adding both utility and aesthetic appeal to gardens. They’re perfect for clients who love a coordinated look.

3. Handy Garden Accessories

Practical Touches: Craft small, useful items like coasters, trivets, or decorative side tables from leftover Trex. These are great for clients who entertain outdoors, providing custom accessories that match their decking.

4. Child-Friendly Play Areas

Safe and Durable: Create sandboxes or small play structures using the robust and splinter-free Trex offcuts. These are ideal for families, ensuring a safe play environment that withstands all weather conditions.
