Full details

FAQs

Can I paint these decking boards?

Yes, once the boards have dried out sufficiently after installation, you can apply an exterior wood paint or stain.

What is the primary benefit of pressure treatment?

Pressure treatment forces preservatives deep into the timber fibers, significantly increasing resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage.

Do I need to treat the cut ends?

Yes, always apply a brush-on wood preservative to any cut ends to ensure the integrity of the timber is not compromised.

Is this wood suitable for ground contact?

While pressure-treated, it is standard practice to keep decking boards slightly raised from direct ground contact to improve airflow.

How do I calculate how many boards I need?

Measure the total area of your deck and divide by the width of the board (120mm), then add 10% to account for cuts and wastage.

Troubleshooting

Boards are bowing or warping during storage

Ensure they are stacked horizontally on level supports off the ground with airflow between layers.

Fasteners are corroding quickly

Ensure you are using high-quality stainless steel or marine-grade screws specifically designed for treated timber.

Surface is turning grey or losing color

This is a natural reaction to UV light; clean the deck and apply a tinted decking oil or stain to restore the color.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural strength due to 28mm thickness
  • Pressure-treated for enhanced rot and weather resistance
  • Standardized dimensions make for easier design and planning
  • Versatile for various outdoor DIY and construction projects

Cons

  • Requires regular sealing or staining to maintain appearance
  • Long 3.6m boards may require careful transport and storage
  • Requires specialized tools for cutting and heavy-duty fixing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your decking, follow these installation guidelines:

  1. Storage: Keep boards stored flat and off the ground in a dry, ventilated area before installation to prevent bowing.
  2. Installation: Use exterior-grade stainless steel screws to prevent corrosion caused by the treatment chemicals in the wood.
  3. Joist Spacing: Ensure support joists are spaced appropriately for 28mm thickness boards to maintain a solid feel.
  4. End Sealing: Apply a quality wood preservative to any cut ends to replace the protection lost during sawing.
  5. Maintenance: Clean the surface annually with a stiff brush and mild detergent, and apply a fresh coat of decking stain or oil every 1-2 years to protect against UV damage and moisture ingress.
