Decking

Natural. Chemical Free. Termite Resistant. Durable.

Cypress is a durable, hard wearing decking timber with high termite resistance and low shrinkage.
Our standard size decking boards are:
- 90 mm wide x 20 mm thick
- 90 mm wide x 26 mm thick

Additional sizes are available on request:
                                         - 68 mm wide x 20 mm thick
                                       - 68 mm wide x 26 mm thick
                                         - 140 mm wide x 26 mm thick

All of our decking boards are available as either a dressed or sawn upper face. A dressed face reveals cypress' rich colour and distinctive dark knots, whilst a sawn face gives a more uniform colouring with the knots tending to fade into the background.
All of our decking boards are kiln dried, with a pencil round to all 4 corners, to reduce splintering and enhance the performance of coatings.
We do not reed our decking, as this allows for the 'best' face to be chosen.
Cypress decking boards may contain limited amounts of sapwood and should be faced downwards and towards any eaves or roof projections.
(Sapwood is the lighter, creamy coloured part of some cypress decking boards). Experience has shown that cypress decking boards with a sawn upper face provides a greater long term weathering ability, a better surface 'key' for coatings, and is less prone to surface checking than dressed face boards.
