What Our Customers Say on Google

Hardwood vs Softwood vs Thermowood

Choosing a decking species

European oak is a dense hardwood with a rich golden colour that weathers to silver grey. It is our premium deck board: strong, durable and a natural match for oak framing. British Douglas fir is a tough softwood with a warm pinkish grain and a lower price, which makes it a favourite for garden decks and family spaces. Thermowood is redwood that has been heat-modified in a kiln, which improves stability and gives an even, contemporary colour with less resin. Pressure-treated softwood is the practical everyday option for budget decks and utility areas.

For a classic wooden garden deck, choose oak or Douglas fir boards with matching joists and Deckin' Blocks; for a full materials list use the decking calculator.

Subframe, joists and supports

Boards are only as good as the frame under them. Use durable joists, such as our Long Life Douglas fir joists or treated softwood, set at sensible centres (often around 400 mm for 21–28 mm boards). Deckin' Blocks or properly founded posts keep the frame clear of the ground so air can circulate. Leave a small gap between boards for drainage and movement, and keep the finished deck clear of walls and soil.

Fixings

Use stainless steel or quality coated decking screws. Oak and other tannin-rich timbers can stain around ordinary steel fixings. Our Timber Titan range covers coated and stainless options sized for deck boards. Browse decking screws.

Maintenance and finishing

Hardwood and Thermowood can be left to weather, or oiled to keep the fresh colour. Treated softwood benefits from a decking stain or oil once the surface has dried. Keep leaves and debris off the boards, and recoat as the finish wears, more often on south-facing decks. See our decking treatments.

Decking FAQs

What decking supplies do you sell?

Kits, joists, Deckin' Blocks, screws and treatments, plus oak, Douglas fir, Thermowood and treated softwood boards from our sawmill. Use this page as the hub, then open the boards or kits catalogue for the full range.

Hardwood vs softwood vs Thermowood: which should I choose?

Oak is our premium hardwood for durability and appearance. Douglas fir is a strong British softwood at a lower price. Thermowood is heat-modified for stability and an even modern colour. Treated softwood suits everyday garden decks on a budget.

Timber vs composite decking: do you sell composite?

We supply timber decking today (oak, Douglas fir, Thermowood and treated softwood). We do not currently stock composite or plastic decking. Composite is a commercial decision for the business; until that changes, this page stays timber-first.

How do Deckin' Blocks work?

Deckin' Blocks are concrete supports that sit on a firm base and carry the joists, so you can build a low deck without digging post holes. See the Deckin' Blocks product page for sizes A and B.

How much decking do I need?

Use our decking calculator for a priced list of boards, joists and fixings. Allow extra for cuts and waste, usually around 10%.

What joist centres should I use?

Our decking calculator recommends joist spacing for your boards (typically 300–400 mm centres). 450 mm is wide for most boards and only suits thick, stiff boards. For a stiffer deck choose thicker boards or closer joists.
