Decking Hardwoods

Hardwoods are naturally durable and strong and have natural resilient to insect damage . When exposed to the natural elements it ages better then treated pine and will last for 45 years + . Hardwood has a darker appearance to treated pine and when oiled or stained to high light the natural colors gives a very professional and attractive finish .

Decking Softwood

Treated pine is cost effective and can be a cheaper option than using hardwood and is conveniently treated against water rot. It has a lighter appearance opposed to darker hardwoods, but by using stains you can archive the same color of any hardwood. The down side to using treated pine for decking is that it won`t last as long as the hard wood and will start to rot after 10 years. If you want it to last that extra bit longer you could paint it with a exterior weather shield paint, by doing this it will stop the water from soaking in and causing it to rot

Timber decking maintenance.

99% of our deck`s are built using Merbau, because we know it is a good, hard dense quality timber that won`t crack or buckle. There is also good availably and the cost is reasonable in comparison to other hardwoods. Merbau is dark in colour.

We can guarantee you are buying quality hardwood that will last. After installation you will need to wash the blood out of the timber a few times. The best way is with a gerni on low pressure or a hose with a stiff brush broom.

It is a good idea to use a deck cleaner to remove any dirt stains, and most important to open up the pores of the timber to allow the deck oil to penetrate deep in to the timber.

24 hours after you have washed your deck down and the timber is completely dry, it is time to prepare to oil your outdoor living area.

There are many quality deck oils on the market and you may want to look at cabots or fest Watson deck oils. These can be purchased from any of your local hardware.

It is a good idea to make sure you use natural colour deck oil. If you have a merbau deck and use a merbau coloured deck oil, you could stain the timber very dark.

While your at your local hardware you may want to grab a decking oil mop applicator. This is an in expensive tool and will make the job easier and save you time.

You will need to apply at least 2 good coats of deck oil or even 3 is a good idea first time around. There will be product directions on the back of the can explaining drying times etc
