Decking Installation

Wood decking comes in two varieties – those made of softwood boards and those made of hardwood boards. The difference between the two is mainly in the tree material used and the post-installation maintenance. Hardwood decking requires more maintenance than its softwood equivalent. However, they both have similar advantages, and your choice will mainly depend on your budget. Here are some of the advantages that wooden decking offers:

• It can be easily repaired or sanded if scratched or damaged in another way;
• It is more budget-friendly than composite deckings if you choose to work with softwood;
• It can last between 15 and 30 years if maintained properly;
• It is completely environmentally friendly as it is produced from natural materials;
• It has a natural feel and a traditional look.
