​Types of Timber Used in Decking
Pine
Pine is one of the most popular choices for timber decking in New Zealand. It is readily available, relatively inexpensive, and easy to work with. Pine decking is often treated to resist rot and insect damage, ensuring longevity and durability.
Kwila
Kwila, an imported hardwood, is another favoured option. Known for its rich reddish-brown colour and dense grain, Kwila is highly resistant to decay and termites. Its durability makes it ideal for coastal areas where conditions can be harsh.
Garapa
Garapa is another imported hardwood that is gaining popularity. It has a golden colour and fine grain, offering a stunning visual appeal. Garapa is also very durable, making it a great choice for decking that will last for years.
Other Hardwoods
Other hardwoods like Teak, Jarrah, and Balau are also used in timber decking. Each type brings unique characteristics, colours, and grain patterns, allowing homeowners to tailor their decking to their personal aesthetic preferences.
