  1. Solar lights <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It seems no caravan decking or veranda is complete without solar lights these days and it can be quite magical to see your caravan lit up at night. Not just that, they might make it safer as you return to your caravan on dark nights. Whenever buying outdoor lights, check for the product\u2019s Ingress Protection (IP) rating to see how well it will stand up to the elements when left outside on your caravan decking.<\/p>\n

    A typical IP rating for many outdoor solar lighting products is IP44. The first digit represents how well a light is at keeping solids such as dust and dirt out of the unit, whereas the second digit determines how well it is protected against moisture and rain. The IP scale for both digits runs from one to six with one offering the lowest protection. With the UK accustomed to a good old rain shower you may consider the second digit more important. And even the four in this case is expected to allow limited water ingress. Ideally it might be worth looking for products that offer a five or six rating which are fully waterproof. Regardless, it might be worth taking your solar lights inside when your park is closed for the winter months to reduce exposure to the elements and extend their life.<\/p>\n

    You might also want to consider some free-standing lights to sit on your tables or decking boards.<\/p>\n
