Decking can be made from all sorts of different timbers, and can be coloured, stained and weatherproofed using decking oils and treatments. Find out more about each, and their particular properties.
Decking materials vary in a number of important ways: affordability, maintenance requirements, durability, strength, colour and texture, to name a few of the more important ones. After a low-maintenance deck? Perhaps wood plastic composite (WPC) or PVC is the right choice for you. Want something native that’s going to maintain its appeal for decades? Consider a hardwood timber.
The materials you choose for your deck are likely to be the most costly part of the process, and will also determine how long your deck will last so it’s well worth spending the time to find out what each option has to offer.
