The Snowdon Timber Dual Sided Treated Decking Board is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to build durable outdoor structures like patios, walkways, or raised platforms. These boards offer the key benefit of long-lasting protection against rot and decay due to professional pressure treatment, providing a reliable foundation for garden projects. A notable caveat is that as a natural timber product, regular maintenance is required to preserve the finish and prevent the effects of prolonged weathering over time.

While pressure-treated, it is best practice to install decking boards on top of a frame or joist system rather than directly on wet earth to maximize service life.
Yes, any cut ends should be treated with an end-grain preservative to maintain the integrity of the pressure treatment.
Depending on sun exposure and rainfall, applying a maintenance coat of oil or stain every 12 to 24 months is recommended.
Yes, once the boards are dry and clean, they can be painted or stained with exterior-grade wood products.
Each board is 2400mm (2.4 meters) in length.
Ensure proper spacing during installation to allow for ventilation and expansion, and always use recommended screw patterns.
This is a natural reaction to UV light. Lightly sand the surface and apply a high-quality UV-protective decking oil or stain.
Lightly sand rough areas and apply a wood sealant to protect the exposed grain.
Installation requires basic carpentry tools, including a circular saw, drill, and galvanized or stainless steel exterior-grade screws to prevent corrosion. Ensure your support joists are spaced appropriately—typically at 400mm centers—to provide optimal structural integrity.
Care is essential for maintaining the board's appearance. Although pressure-treated, the wood remains a natural material; it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or decking stain periodically to guard against UV fading and moisture penetration. Keep the boards clear of debris, such as leaves or dirt, which can trap moisture and accelerate surface degradation.
