Full details
The Snowdon Timber Garden Deck Tile 5-Pack is the ideal solution for homeowners looking to quickly upgrade a patio, balcony, or garden walkway with a durable wood surface. Designed for easy DIY installation, these pressure-treated tiles offer excellent resistance to rot and pests, providing a sturdy and attractive outdoor floor. While they are highly resilient, users should note that as a natural wood product, they may require occasional sealing to maintain their original color and finish over several years of sun exposure.

FAQs
Can these tiles be laid directly on grass?
It is not recommended. Placing wood directly on soil or grass will trap moisture and significantly shorten the lifespan of the tiles. Use a base of gravel or paving slabs.
How many tiles come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 tiles.
Are these tiles safe for pets and children?
The pressure-treatment process makes the wood rot and pest resistant. Ensure the tiles are fully dry after installation before high-traffic use.
Do I need to secure them to the ground?
In many small balcony or patio applications, the weight of the tiles is sufficient to keep them in place. For larger areas or high-wind locations, you may choose to use edge restraints.
Can I cut these to fit a corner?
Yes, the timber can be cut using a standard wood saw to accommodate corners or obstacles.
How do I calculate how many packs I need?
Each tile is 0.16 square meters. A 5-pack covers 0.8 square meters. Divide your total area by 0.8 to estimate your pack requirements, adding 10% for cuts.
Troubleshooting
Tiles wobbling on the surface
Check if the base surface is level; use thin exterior-grade shims to stabilize individual tiles if the ground is uneven.
Surface feels slippery when wet
Ensure the deck is kept clean of moss or algae buildup; regular sweeping or a light pressure wash can restore grip.
Wood color fading or silvering
This is a natural process for outdoor timber. Apply a UV-resistant wood stain or decking oil to restore color and provide additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your chosen surface is level and provides adequate drainage to prevent water from pooling beneath the tiles. While pressure-treated, the wood is natural; it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or deck oil every 1-2 years to extend the life of the finish and prevent surface cracking. For installation, simply align the tiles in your desired configuration. If you need to fit the tiles around an obstacle or corner, the timber can be cut to size using a standard handsaw or power jigsaw. Always wear appropriate eye protection when cutting, and treat any freshly exposed cut ends with a wood preservative to maintain the protective barrier.
