SKU: Superior Heavy Duty, Quality 28mm 145mm Treated Swedish Pine…
These heavy duty decking boards are manufactured from slow-growing Swedish Pine, a timber known for its high density and natural resilience. Unlike standard European whitewood, which is often narrower and shallower, this 28mm thick timber offers superior structural integrity for long-term outdoor use. It suits homeowners looking for a substantial, traditional finish that can withstand the unpredictable British climate. This material provides a robust foundation for any serious landscaping project.
This versatile timber is suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications across the UK. You might install it to create a stable platform around a garden swimming pool or as a durable walkway through a landscaped patio. Because of the 28mm thickness, these boards are ideal for heavy-use areas such as pedestrian ramps or commercial terrace spaces. Whether you are building a small raised deck in a compact urban courtyard or a large expanse in a rural garden, the slow-growth pine handles damp conditions well.
Installation requires a sturdy subframe, typically constructed from treated timber joists spaced at regular intervals. You should use stainless steel or high-quality coated decking screws to prevent rust staining on the wood surface. Before you begin, ensure the ground is level and the subframe is perfectly square to avoid gaps. It is wise to pre-drill pilot holes to prevent the dense Swedish pine from splitting near the ends of the boards.
Each board features a consistent width of 145mm and a thickness of 28mm. We offer five distinct length options to suit your specific site requirements, including 1200mm, 3000mm, 3600mm, 4200mm, and 4800mm lengths. These dimensions allow for precise planning and minimal wastage during the construction process. The slow-growth nature of the timber ensures a tight grain and a high-quality finish throughout.
Frequently asked questions
How does Swedish Pine differ from standard whitewood decking?
Swedish Pine grows much slower than common European whitewood, resulting in a denser grain. This density makes the boards more durable and less prone to warping or splitting when exposed to the wet UK winter weather.Do I need to treat these boards after installation?
While the timber is treated for durability, applying a high-quality UV-resistant oil or stain will help maintain the natural colour. Regular maintenance ensures the wood remains looking fresh and protects it from seasonal moisture changes.Can these boards be used for a heavy-duty commercial walkway?
Yes, the 28mm thickness provides the necessary strength for high-traffic areas. This makes them an excellent choice for commercial sites or public walkways where structural stability and long-term wear resistance are essential requirements.What is the best way to prevent gaps between the boards?
You should maintain a consistent gap of roughly 3mm to 5mm between each board during installation. This allows for natural expansion and contraction while ensuring efficient water drainage through the deck surface.
