If your home or holiday let in Ingoldmells or Skegness has a view of the coast, a raised deck can help you make the most of it. Beyond the view, raised decking offers a number of practical advantages for coastal properties.
Better Views, Less Obstruction
Raising a deck even a small amount can lift you above garden fencing, hedging, or dunes, opening up sightlines to the sea that would otherwise be blocked from ground level. This is a popular upgrade for properties along the Ingoldmells seafront and nearby holiday parks.
Improved Drainage on Low-Lying Ground
Much of the land around Ingoldmells is low-lying and can hold water after heavy coastal rain. A raised deck sits above ground level, helping avoid the pooling and dampness that can affect ground-level patios and decking in wetter parts of the garden.
Extra Storage Underneath
The space beneath a raised deck can often be used for storage, which is particularly useful for holiday lets and static caravans in Ingoldmells that need somewhere to keep garden furniture, beach equipment, or maintenance tools out of sight.
A Stronger Sense of Separation from the Garden
Raised decking creates a defined outdoor “room,” separate from the lawn or planting beds, which can make a property feel larger and more considered — a detail that often stands out in holiday let listing photos.
Safety Considerations for Raised Decks
Raised decking needs to be built to a higher standard than ground-level decking, with secure balustrades, safe step access, and robust foundations designed to handle Ingoldmells’ exposed coastal winds. This isn’t a project for DIY guesswork — proper structural design matters.
Choosing the Right Balustrade for the View
Glass or slim metal balustrades are popular for sea-view decks, since they protect against falls without blocking the view guests or homeowners are paying for. Timber balustrades can also be used for a more traditional look, depending on the property style.
