Softwood deckboards 38mm

There are three main softwood deckboards kept in stock, all three of which are machined from the same quality redwood; this redwood exhibits tighter growth rings and is denser than the timber used for fencing and carcassing products.

The main deckboard is the 38mm x125mm (finish size 32mm x 120mm) which has a dual profile allowing a choice of which pattern to use, or on larger, mutli-level decks to vary the profiles at different deck levels. This is a premium deckboard and stocks are normally maintained at lengths from 3.0metre to 6.0 metre in 0.3 metre increments.

As an alternative there is another dual profile deckboard, 32mm x 125mm and a smooth 38mm x 128mm deckboard.

All of our deckboards are imported as sawn redwood blanks then machined and pressure treated in England. This pressure treatment, Tanalith E, starts as a light green but mellows to a light honey brown after being exposed to a few weeks sunlight; after 18-24 months this may change to a grey colour which is perfectly normal. Colours can be maintained and enhanced where required by using decking oil or stains, stocked at Southern Timber.
