This pack contains twenty pressure-treated forest decking boards designed for durability in outdoor settings. Each timber plank undergoes a specialised treatment process to protect the wood against the moisture and rot common in the UK climate. The boards feature a profiled finish on one side to assist with water runoff. This makes them an ideal choice for homeowners looking to build sturdy, reliable garden surfaces that can withstand regular use.
These boards are versatile enough for various domestic and commercial applications across the country. You might use them to create a raised platform in a small courtyard or as low-level walkways leading through a damp garden. They work well alongside swimming pools or as a stable base for outdoor furniture on a patio. For small businesses, these boards provide a practical solution for creating modest seating areas in beer gardens or cafe terraces. Because the wood is treated, it stands up well to the heavy rainfall typical of a British autumn.
Installation requires a prepared subframe to ensure the structure remains level and secure. You should use appropriate stainless steel screws to prevent rust staining on the timber surface. When laying the planks, always leave consistent gaps between each board to allow for natural expansion and contraction. This step is vital to prevent warping during the wetter months when the wood absorbs moisture. Always check your local planning regulations before starting a large garden project to ensure compliance.
Each individual board measures 2.4 metres in length, 12cm in width, and has a thickness of 28mm. This specific pack contains twenty boards in total. When installed, the set provides a total coverage of 5.76m². The profiled texture on one side improves grip and drainage. These dimensions make it easy to calculate the exact amount of timber required for your specific walkway or patio area.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to treat these boards again after installation?
While the timber is pressure-treated for enhanced durability, applying a high-quality wood preservative or stain can help maintain the colour. This extra layer provides additional protection against UV rays and moisture throughout the year.Will the boards warp if it rains heavily?
The pressure treatment helps stabilise the timber against the elements. However, you must leave consistent gaps between the planks during installation. This allows the wood to expand naturally when it absorbs water, which prevents warping.Can these boards be used for a commercial seating area?
Yes, these boards are suitable for small commercial sites such as cafe terraces or beer gardens. They provide a sturdy and practical surface for outdoor furniture in a professional setting.What type of screws should I use for fitting?
You should always use stainless steel screws for this project. Standard steel fixings can corrode quickly when exposed to damp conditions, whereas stainless steel remains durable and prevents unsightly dark marks on your new decking.
