Timbers

Firstly, there are a variety of timbers that you can select from in Western Australia to build your outdoor decking. The available timber can vary considerably in strength and durability.

Ventilation

Air ventilation in and around your outdoor decking is an important factor that some less experienced deck builders do not fully consider. If there is not sufficient space left between the borders of the deck and surrounding lawn, paving or structures, moisture can cause the timbers to become warped or expand and/or contract.

This issue is more prominent with Eucalypts including Spotted Gum, Jarrah and Blackbutt. Merbau has great resistance to environment factors in relation to dealing with the harsh WA climate.

Deck Maintenance

The rate at which you need to maintain your new outdoor decking will vary. It will largely depend on the timbers you select and your location. Although a good rule of thumb is to maintain your deck twice per year. Periodic maintenance of your outdoor deck will result in many years of enjoyment.
