Timber is a traditional material used in many decking installations and other outdoor applications such as cladding, screens and furniture. The natural grains, textures and colours of timber decking compliment almost all environments that it is used in; providing the area a sense of charm, warmth and nostalgia as well.
Hardwood decking is a hugely popular choice for decks big and small. It’s a completely natural product that is the result of years and years of growth. Seen by many as the only ‘real’ decking option, hardwood decking timber does call for maintenance, but is well worth the extra effort.
Massaranduba is a South American hardwood which is a very durable and hardwearing timber. It works very well as an outdoor decking material as it is rated highly against rot and insect attack.
Cumaru has excellent durability and weathering properties making it a perfect outdoor decking timber, as well as a timber that can be used for multiple outdoor applications, such as screens, cladding, and furniture.
Garapa is a very easy-to-work-with timber considering its density as a South American hardwood. It is a durable and stable timber. Garapa has a beautifully distinct golden yellow brown colour.
Hard, heavy and dense, Red Balau is often the decking material of choice in as it performs very well in all conditions. It is also regarded to have a high rot and insect attack resistance and is sourced abundantly in South East Asia.
Softwood is less durable as an exterior decking timber compared to hard wood, coming from faster growing trees which are much easier to process, making it more economical initially. If you are looking for a decking option that will look good on final installation, but that won’t be required to take as much wear and tear, then softwood could work for you.
Originally from Eastern Australia and now also grown in Southern Africa as a structural timber, Saligna is now used for everything from doors and windows, to decking, flooring and furniture. It is a level up from Pine and for its price, offers a good entry level deck.
Pine decking is one of the most economical materials which can be used for decking as it is forested locally. Although affordable and not as durable as hardwoods, if installed and maintained correctly, a pine deck can last.
Generally timber can be classified into either Hardwoods or Softwoods based on physical structure and characteristics. Hardwoods come from angiosperms, flowering trees like teak and usually grow slowly and softwoods come from gymnosperm, usually evergreen conifers like pine, which have a quicker growth cycle. Hardwoods should not be confused with the actual physical hardness of the timber. Please contact us if you have any questions.
