Softwood Deck Board Artificial Domestic Use Decking Board

These softwood deck boards offer a practical and colourful alternative to standard timber decking for domestic garden projects. Manufactured from PEFC approved spruce, each board features a wide recess filled with charcoal or red EPDM rubber crumb to provide a low slip surface in both wet and dry conditions. The timber is kiln dried for improved stability and pressure treated to resist rot. It is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a safer walking surface.

This decking is suited for various outdoor applications across the UK, from small patio areas to sloping garden walkways. Because of the integrated anti-slip rubber crumb, it works well for residential ramps or paths leading to side gates. You might also consider using these boards around garden ponds or swimming pools where moisture levels remain high. While primarily designed for domestic use, the slip-resistant properties make them a sensible choice for small commercial footpaths. They perform reliably even during a typical wet British autumn.

Before installation, ensure you level the ground, compact the soil, and lay a ground sheet to stop weeds. Install the boards with a maximum joist centre of 400mm and leave a 5-6mm gap between each board. Use 4.5 x 63mm stainless steel or coated deck screws to prevent corrosion. You must drill pilot holes to avoid splitting the wood. Always maintain a minimum distance of 15mm from the board end and 20mm from the edge when fixing.

Each individual board measures 2100mm in length, 120mm in width, and 28mm in thickness. One board provides 1.26 m² of coverage for your project. The material consists of kiln dried, pressure treated spruce that is PEFC approved for responsible sourcing. These precision finished, planed boards are designed for durability and stability. Every purchase includes a 1 year guarantee to ensure your peace of mind during the initial installation period.
