Deck Timber Choices

Choosing a timber that is right for you and your home

We are proud to showcase some of these fine enginering achievments from our company.

Balau Decking

Native to Malaysia, very tough and naturally toxic to termites make this wood hard to beat! Seal or leave to weather.

Garapa Decking

Like Balau - this timber is hard and tough - perfect for the S.A. climate. Can be overcoated or left to weather. Clear coat is best!

SA Pine Decking

for those on a budget - an great looking timber for outside deck installations. Extra care needed when sealing. Specially ordered H4 treated.

Massaranduba Decking

This is one of the best timbers you could possibly build a deck with! Reddish brown in colour and super hard wearing! The best looking option!
