How Decking Can Increase the Value of Caravan Holiday Homes and Lodges
February 12, 2025The Benefits of Decking Around Hot Tubs for Holiday Parks
Hot tubs have quickly become a sought-after luxury for families and couples staying at holiday parks. They create a premium caravan holiday home or lodge which offers you, the park manager, owner or operator, plenty of benefits. But if you’re choosing to install them, you also need to think about the decking around hot tubs.
Adding hot tub decking enhances the user experience as well as operational efficiency for you, offering many benefits.
At Vinyl Solutions, we specialise in high-quality, low-maintenance hot tub decking solutions designed specifically for holiday parks and their unique needs. Each of our solutions is bespoke to the look and feel of your holiday park, plus the space available.
Here, we take a look at the benefits of adding decking around a hot tub in your holiday park.
Enhancing Guest Experience & Attracting More Bookings
Hot tubs are a luxury feature that many people now prioritise when they go on holiday. This means by installing them, you can attract more people and justify a premium price.
This is enhanced with decking around the hot tub which enhances a luxurious feel.
Composite or uPVC decking provides a safe, stylish and comfortable area around the hot tub. Guests can walk the short distance from their lodge or caravan to the hot tub barefoot without worrying about spikey grass, splinters or rough paving.
Plus, these materials are slip-resistant, reducing the chance of slips and falls – especially when wet.
This sleek and comfortable addition to your caravans or holiday homes attracts more bookings, which can only be a good thing for you.

Safety & Compliance Considerations
Any additions to your park will need to meet health and safety regulations. This will especially be the case where water is concerned.
uPVC or composite decking around hot tubs is an excellent choice as either material will help ensure you’re compliant.
Not only are these decking choices slip-resistant, but they can also include integrated handrails and the hot tub can be inset into the decking, making access a simple step down.
Our products are tested to the criteria of building regulations, with independent testing carried out to ensure we meet BS6180 for structural integrity. Plus, slip resistance testing is carried out to BS7976-2.
Additionally, all extruded components are manufactured and certified under the controls of quality and Manufacturing Standard BE EN ISO9001.
What does this mean for you? When you choose our hot tub decking, you can have complete confidence in its safety for all guests.
Low Maintenance & Durability
One of the biggest benefits of putting composite or uPVC decking around a hot tub is the impact it has on maintenance and durability.
The plastic surrounding a hot tub will reduce mud and grass build up in the hot tub, reducing the need for frequent cleaning or changing of filters.
The decking itself is easy to clean, which is an operational benefit as it needs less preparation time for cleaning. uPVC and composite decking are both rot resistant, won’t warp and won’t splinter, meaning downtime to maintain the surfaces is low. There are of course some seasonal maintenance requirements, which don’t eliminate downtime completely.
Plus, the decking reduces wear on the surrounding ground, leading to less frequent landscaping repairs.
Finally, the decking protects the hot tub itself. Even if sunk into the decking floor, it will be slightly elevated from the deck level which will prevent dirt, debris and pools of water damaging the structure. The decking structure will also provide a stable foundation for the hot tub which in turn reduces strain on the tubs structure too.
Customisation & Aesthetic Appeal
uPVC or composite decking around hot tubs is highly customisable.
The materials are available in a range of colours and looks, which allow you to find a style that complements your caravans or holiday lodges.
On top of the colours and styles, you can enhance the decking with various balustrading options and lighting and accessories.
What makes this hot tub decking even more convenient is the ability to customise the configuration to fit the space around your caravans or holiday lodges perfectly. This means we can also ensure the decking fits around any size or shape of the hot tub.

Privacy & Guest Comfort
Fitting decking around a hot tub also offers an opportunity to increase privacy and guest comfort.
Frosted or tinted glass balustrades is a great way to create a barrier around the hot tubs, creating privacy. Alternatively, various spindle styles close off the decking area around the hot tub so guests can enjoy their time in the hot tub in peace.
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Choice
A final benefit of using uPVC and composite decking around hot tubs is that they’re sustainable and eco-friendly.
Many of these materials, especially the ones we use at Vinyl Solutions, are made from recycled materials. Plus, they can be recycled again at the end of their life span.
But, what makes these materials a sustainable option is their durability and longevity. You won’t have to replace them often as they will be able to withstand extreme weather conditions (with a little bit of attention) and won’t damage easily with usage.
