Whether carrying out an extensive landscaping project or adding a new feature to the garden, timber offers homeowners a versatile decorative or building product, which can be easily adapted for an array of applications such as screens, fences, decks and bench seating.
When it comes to selecting the type of decking product to use, consider the benefits of Australian species, which are in excellent supply and sourced from sustainable resources.
Available in a spectrum of colours, native species are ideally suited to Australia’s weather conditions and species such as Blackbutt and River Reds are as good, if not better, and more durable than imported species.
Many Australian species are naturally termite resistant and Blackbutt offers fire retardant properties, making it particularly suitable for bushfire prone areas.
Buying locally grown and manufactured timber also means that a new deck will have a smaller carbon footprint than if the product was transported from abroad.
Boral Timber’s Australian-made decking offers a top quality hardwood decking product and is available in a range of natural Australian species to complement all backyard designs.
Boral Timber has achieved Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) Chain of Custody certification for its products, including decking, ensuring users of its products that they are sourced from sustainably managed and legal sources. AFS is the largest forestry certification scheme in Australia and the only certification scheme that meets Australian Standard AS 4708-2007. It is dedicated to supporting good forestry practices with sustainable management.
