If you’re a decking installer, garden designer, or landscape contractor, you already know that the industry is changing rapidly.
Clients aren’t just asking for a simple wooden platform anymore – they want high end outdoor living spaces where material choice, lighting, planting and long-term performance all work together.
To keep up with these shifting expectations, industry expert Karl Harrison is hosting a UK first event.
Decking Day hosted by The Decking Network
We are excited to announce that Owatrol UK will be in attendance at Decking Day, presented by Decking Network.
- Friday 3rd July 2026
- Horticulture House in Didcot, Oxfordshire
We’re heading down to be part of the big conversations shaping the future of the industry.
Owatrol UK live on stage: The maintenance debate
As every professional knows, choosing high-quality boards and building flawless subframes is vital. However, the longevity of any project comes down to one crucial element – the maintenance.
We are proud to share that a member of the Owatrol team has been invited onto the stage for an exclusive, fast paced ‘info burst’.
Here is what we have lined up for our session:
A 10 minute ‘Info Burst’: Here we’ll be tackling the best practices, common pain points and the reality of keeping modern decking looking immaculate, year after year.
Live Q&A: This will be your chance to ask us your most pressing maintenance questions. Whether you’re dealing with composite fading, weathered timber restorations, or client expectation management, we’ll give you straight answers.
The dedicated maintenance debate: We’re joining a focused debate on what really works, what to avoid and how to educate clients on protecting their investments.
Why Decking Day is a must attend for professionals
Sponsored by Deckorators (mineral-based composite decking) and featuring renowned industry figure Mark Gregory, Decking Day is designed to bridge the gap between designers, contractors, installers, as well as manufacturers and suppliers.
The day will cover everything from material innovation (including next-gen premium options) to integrating clever lighting and architectural planting. It’s a space to debate good and bad practises and how to price and build with total confidence.
At just £17.50 + VAT (which includes refreshments and a light lunch), Karl and the team have made this event incredibly accessible.
The goal is simple – get the best minds in the UK landscaping sector together, to elevate the standard of professional decking.
