Timber decking is a type of construction material that is commonly used to construct outdoor decks and patios. Depending on the desired appearance and properties of the finished structure, this material can be made from a variety of hard and soft wood species. Timber decking gives outdoor structures a natural rustic look that metal and composite materials can’t match.
Fasteners such as screws, nails, and bolts can be used to join timber decking components together. For heavy-duty applications or decks that will bear heavy loads, steel plates or specialty fasteners may be required. Timber guard rails should be installed on elevated timber decks to prevent falls.
