Buy 4.8m Composite Decking Boards

Family garden with artificial grass, a play teepee and a fire pit seating area

4.8m boards mean fewer joins across a long deck, which looks better and leaves fewer board ends needing support underneath.

Worth the extra handling if your deck runs long in one direction. For a smaller or squarer deck, 3.6m composite decking boards usually waste less — and composite vs timber explains the material.

Seven colours in the 4.8m length at £34 a board. Choose 4.8m when the deck is between 3.6m and 4.8m deep, or when you want a long run without a butt joint every 3.6m: a 4.8m by 4m deck is 28 boards laid full length with no joins across it. The boards are the same profile as the 3.6m: hollow composite, reversible grooved and woodgrain faces, fixed with hidden clips at 350mm joist centres, ten-year warranty.

They are heavier to handle and need a straight route through the house or a side gate, so check access before you order. Matching 4.8m L-trim and step edge finish the long side without a join. The subframe guide covers spans and joist spacing for a deck this size, and free samples come in every colour. Free delivery over £190, 2 to 4 working days.
