Types of outdoor decking

Timber decking

Timber decking is the most popular type of decking material, especially in Australia. We stock a curated selection of locally grown timber decking, including pine, macrocarpa, and tropical hardwoods. To increase its longevity, timber decking needs regular maintenance like cleaning, sanding, and staining.

Composite decking

Composite timber decking and composite cladding are manufactured by combining wooden fibre, plastic, and binding agent to create a composite decking material that looks like traditional timber. Composite timber is usually much stronger than traditional timber and requires very little maintenance.  

Bamboo decking

Bamboo decking is a relatively new product in Australia. Bamboo is a very renewable building material that can be harvested and then turned into durable decking timber by going through a rigorous manufacturing process. Bamboo decking is very aesthetically pleasing and low maintenance.

The advantages of high-quality outdoor decking systems

High-quality outdoor decking systems have many advantages. First, they are much easier to maintain due to the superior manufacturing process. Second, they have much higher longevity as they are produced using higher quality timber or composite materials. Third, high-quality decking materials will add significant value to your property when the time comes to sell. This is especially true in Australia where outdoor decking areas are highly desired by many home buyers.

How to choose an outdoor decking system that’s right for you

Timber is the most obvious choice when deciding which decking material to use, but composite decking is gaining popularity in Australia due to the reduction in maintenance this material provides. Once the level of maintenance has been considered, you’ll need to make sure the material you choose matches the area where the decking is located.

For example, if your decking is going to be exposed to direct sunlight, then you should go with a decking material that will be able to handle it. This is especially relevant to Australia where the harsh sun can be very harsh. You may also want to think about some deck anti-slip products once you’ve made your final choice for an added layer of protection and safety.
