Pine

Pine Decking

Pine is the most commonly used timber in decking and fencing projects. It is a softwood and easy to work with.

So what are the weaknesses of this common building material? As it is a softwood it can be susceptible to being marked in high traffic areas. Even kiln dried pine will swell up in the wet winter months and shrink in a hot, dry summer. This will sometimes result in uneven gaps appearing and then closing up again.

This is however our most sustainable product available. In New Zealand we can take a tree from seedling to harvest in just 25 years. It is cost effective for most building requirements and lasts when cared for correctly.

Pine can be mounted or fixed in many different ways. Hidden or concealed fixings are acceptable with this product along with visible stainless steel screw fixings. Never nail a deck board down!
