What’s the difference between hardwood and softwood decking?
Hardwood decking is made from dense, slow-growing trees like merbau or spotted gum, offering greater durability and resistance to wear. Softwood decking, such as treated pine, is lighter and easier to work with but generally requires more maintenance. The choice depends on desired lifespan, appearance, and how much upkeep is preferred.
Can decking be painted or stained?
Timber decking can be stained or painted to refresh its appearance or match a specific colour scheme. Staining highlights the wood grain while offering UV and moisture protection. Composite decking typically doesn’t require staining or painting and may not absorb coatings well due to its blended material composition and sealed surface.
Do I need to leave gaps between decking boards?
Yes, leaving gaps between decking boards is essential for drainage, ventilation and allowing the material to expand and contract with changes in weather. The size of the gap depends on the material type and environmental conditions. Proper spacing helps prevent warping, pooling water and long-term structural issues.
Is composite decking slippery when wet?
High-quality composite decking is designed with slip resistance in mind and often includes textured surfaces for better grip. However, like any outdoor surface, it can become slippery if algae, mould or debris builds up. Regular cleaning helps maintain traction and keeps the surface safe underfoot, especially in shaded or damp areas.
