What Wooden Decking boards ?

 

How do I know which wooden decking boards to purchase ?

This is a question which we get asked throughout the summer months as wooden decking has become a great alternative to patio slabs, grass and your other conventional garden floor options. Here are some tips on decking building.

There are a number of Garden Timber decking ideas with a large range of boards available on the market.

Areas to consider when purchasing a decking board –

 

Decking Planks

 

  1. Quality of the decking boards – Decking boards vary from 21mm up to 32mm.
  2. Treatment – Is the timber decking Tanalised and if so how long should it last.
  3. Maintenance – How do I maintain my wooden decking boards.
  4. Cost – Cheapest isn’t always the best you need to compare price to quality ratio.
  5. Length of decking boards – Less waste the better.
  6. Fitting Decking birds – Ask the manufacturer how the decking boards should be fitted.    ( Spacing on Joist / Base Timbers tends to be the most Important aspect).
  7. Warranty – Is there a warranty on the decking boards and if so what are the terms and conditions.

 

Our advice

  • Contact a number of local timber merchants and ask for decking ideas and advice.
  • See the boards for your self.
  • Ask for examples of the decking boards after a period of time.
  • Work out a plan and price up the Wooden decking to suit your specific needs.
  • Find a quality carpenter or tradesman to give a plan to the supplier.
