If you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor spaces, our outdoor wall cladding ideas can be a fantastic way to transform your garden. One of the most popular cladding materials on the market is composite cladding, which can be used to add a sleek and attractive outer shell on your house, outbuildings, walls or fences. It looks great and it’s also extremely practical, with a tough, low-maintenance finish that can take everything that the famously unpredictable British weather can throw at it.
Using composite cladding on houses and sheds has become an increasingly popular option, but there are plenty of other creative external wall cladding ideas you could try. Composite cladding is perfect for eye-catching feature walls, but you could install cladding over existing fencing, or even use it to make an outdoor bar.
Below, we’ll look at the benefits of composite cladding and give you some fantastic exterior wall cladding ideas for inspiration…
Feature walls are designed to stand out. They need to catch the eye and add an attractive or interesting element to the garden. Our composite cladding certainly fits the bill. It comes in a range of bold, sleek and natural colours, and there are flush and slatted options, which make it a great choice for outdoor feature wall ideas.
The range of different finishes makes it easy to adapt composite cladding to different aesthetics to fit your home or garden. It’s also durable, weather resistant and long lasting, which gives it an edge over other materials such as timber. Our cladding is also constructed from a mix of recycled timber and plastic, which is extremely tough and durable. It’s also encased in a special protective Dino Shield™ sleeve to make it even more resistant to damage and weather.
One of the best things about this type of cladding, though, is its ease of maintenance. The colour is locked in and it already has a protective shield, so you don’t need to paint, stain or varnish it every year. A little maintenance is required to keep it at its best, but this involves just a regular cleaning and rub-down.
The benefits include:
Brown cladding options such as Dino’s walnut composite cladding can provide a great backdrop for plants and furniture, creating a traditional yet modern garden aesthetic. The brown tones provide a natural-looking setting for greenery or colourful flowers, but brown cladding, especially lighter shades such as teak, can also make for attractive feature walls in their own right.
Garden sheds can be useful storage or working spaces, but they can become tired or worn out. Adding cladding to a shed gives it a whole new lease of life and can make it an attractive feature in the garden. If you don’t want to continue using it as a typical shed, you could even use cladding to convert it into a stylish outdoor garden room. Cladding will protect the structure from the weather and general deterioration and also adds a layer of insulation that will be particularly appreciated in the winter months.
Composite material isn’t only good for wall cladding ideas. Exterior fences can also benefit from cladding, providing extra durability, weather resistance and privacy compared to traditional timber or slatted fencing. If you didn’t want to clad an existing wooden fence, you could also go for composite fencing instead.
An outdoor bar can provide a wonderful centrepiece to your garden, with cladding adding a modern element that’s sleek and attractive but also durable, weather resistant and immune to spillages.
Some of the elements for your ideal bar could include:
You could also add a theme for your bar, from a Tiki bar to a sports bar, beach bar, rustic country pub, or whatever else takes your fancy.
Sleek grey tones are one of the best garden wall cladding ideas for anyone looking to add a modern look to their garden. This wall can be paired with plants and garden decorations for extra style, but it can look just as good as a feature wall on its own.
A green living wall is a surface that is partially or entirely covered in living vegetation. It can include hedges, but you can also create a green wall using another structure as the backdrop and base. Durable composite cladding can be good for this. This option can be a nature lover’s dream, adding plenty of greenery to the garden. Choosing a lighter cladding colour can make the colours of the plants stand out more.
A white-washed cladding wall is an interesting modern option and can be done in a variety of ways. It can emphasise natural wood grain and can be a good backdrop for plants and decor – both outside and inside the house. This generally works best with timber and other materials – note that while you can whitewash composite cladding, it’s not generally advised and may invalidate any warranty.
In most cases, planning permission isn’t required for outdoor cladding. Exceptions may apply, though if the appearance is significantly different from the rest of your property or you live in a Conservation Area, a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or the Broads.
Composite cladding can be easier to install than other materials and you can check out our guide on how to install composite cladding for more information. If you’re not confident in your DIY skills, though, or you want a more professional look, it might be better to hire a professional.
There are a variety of options of cladding available, including timber, brick and plastic (uPVC). Composite cladding is an increasingly popular choice thanks to a number of benefits, including durability, weather resistance, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance.
When it comes to attractive and practical outdoor wall ideas, adding cladding to your outdoor spaces can bring a real transformative touch. Whether you’re using it to make an eye-catching feature wall, upcycle a tired old garden shed, or breathe new life into fences and outbuildings, cladding can make a real difference.
There are a few options when it comes to cladding types, but composite cladding has a few clear benefits. It’s tough, durable, and resistant to weather and rot. It’s also affordable, relatively easy to install, and comes in a range of stylish colours and finishes, from natural browns to bold and sleek greys. It’s easy to maintain, and it’s an eco-friendly option thanks to its longevity and use of recycled materials.
