FAQs
What is B-Grade decking?
B-Grade decking means the boards have some natural imperfections like knots, wane, or machining defects, which do not affect the strength or durability of the wood. This allows for a more affordable price.
Are these boards suitable for ground contact?
Yes, the boards are pressure-treated, making them suitable for direct ground contact and resistant to rot and decay.
How do I calculate how many boards I need?
Measure the area you plan to cover. Calculate the total square footage and consider the board dimensions (25mm x 120mm x 2400mm) and spacing for your project. Allow extra for cuts and waste.
What kind of screws should I use?
Use exterior-grade screws specifically designed for decking. Stainless steel or coated screws are recommended to prevent rust and corrosion.
How do I maintain the color of the boards?
Apply a wood stain or sealant designed for outdoor use. Reapply as per the manufacturer's instructions, typically annually or as needed.
Can I paint the decking boards?
Yes, you can paint the decking boards. However, ensure that you prepare the surface properly by cleaning and sanding as needed, and use a paint specifically designed for exterior wood surfaces.
What is wane?
Wane is the presence of the original rounded edge of the tree on the board. This is a natural characteristic that adds to the unique look of the decking boards.
Where can I buy these decking boards?
Check with your local Snowdon Timber stockist or visit their website for availability and purchasing information.
Troubleshooting
Board warping or twisting after installation.
Ensure proper spacing between boards. Use screws of appropriate length to avoid over-tightening. Consider the weather during installation and allow the wood to acclimate.
Boards are not aligning correctly during installation.
Inspect each board before installation. The imperfections might make it harder to align them perfectly. Consider the placement of the defects, and cut or reposition as needed.
The green colour is fading.
The green colour is from the pressure treatment and will fade over time. Applying a wood stain or sealant can help to maintain the colour or change the appearance.
