A beautiful timber deck will last a lifetime with the right care, maintenance, and installation. Timber is a classic material for decking because it’s durable, long-lasting, and tactile – perfect for a lot of foot traffic and a tactile material that you can walk on barefoot.
Lawsons stocks a range of timbers, including hardwood and softwood, to suit your budget and home’s aesthetic. Hardwood decking is made from slow-growing trees, so the wood itself is tougher, heavier, and more durable. However, softwood decking can still last a long time with the right treatment and maintenance routine.
You can arrange your decking boards in a variety of patterns or designs, from simple horizontal stripes through to herringbone and basket weave patterns if you have the skill and patience for something a little more complicated. Take a look at our blog post on decking patterns for inspiration and ideas.
