What type of decking timber should I get?
Here are four popular decking timbers that are widely used for Aussie decks.
- Hardwoods: Hardwoods are extremely durable, resilient and look fantastic. Hardwoods bring a stylish look to enhance your outdoor space and with the right care, can last for many years to come. Have a look at popular hardwoods such as Jarrah, Spotted Gum and Merbau from a timber merchant near you.
- Treated Pine: Found in most Aussie decks, treated pine is versatile and affordable. It is usually stained or painted according to the owner’s taste. As it is lightweight and easy to work with, it’s a great DIY option. Pine timbers are very common as wholesale timber supplies.
- Composite Decking: Made from wood and recycled plastic, composite decking is environmentally friendly, weather resistant and easy to install. Although it is more costly, it is extremely durable and requires almost no maintenance besides a rinse.
- Modular Decking: Made from various woods, modular decking is pre-assembled into panels which slot into place on frames. Depending on the wood, you will need to maintain the decking boards every year by oiling it.
