Why Wooden Decking?
The Timber Decking Association (TDA) and the UK new National House-Building Council have agreed upon standards for millboard wooden decking. Minimum standard for quality installation of a wooden deck is 15 years; while the construction of a quality wooden deck on a new home is a 60 years specification. Specifications are determined by the type of wood (hardwood or softwood) and the grade of wood. Moisture content of the wood is another critical component and should have lower than 20% moisture rating; water resistant treatments can improve the wood’s rating.
Maintenance of Your Wooden Deck
New owners of wooden decking should be prepared to spring clean it each year with a power spray and a commercial deck cleaning product. It is important to clean off any leaves, dirt or algae that can make the deck surface slippery; if necessary use a stiff bristle brush to clean the surface. If the deck is stained or has been treated with a water repellent product, this will have to be reapplied every 2 or 3 years depending on weather and general wear and tear. Sun damage may also impact how often the deck needs to be treated.
Wooden Decking Costs
Cost of a wooden deck will vary by the size of the deck and the type of wood selected. The TDA recommends using only hardwoods that are rated naturally as “very durable” or “durable” or softwood which has been pressure treated with a wood preserve. Softwoods are selected more often as they tend to be cheaper; however, the hardwoods offer richer colours that could add greater value to your home. You should discuss the pros and cons on each wood with your deck builder when making your selection.
