Fifteen Years Decking and Deck Frame Warranty
The decking market has matured with composite and high-end decking products. We are conscious that some Trade customers, and end-users, are wanting decking that is traditional and cheaper than imported composite decking options. It seemed to us that offering decking products - post supports, timber joist, decking boards - with a longer service life would be a good option. To this end we have added a selection of UC4 incised decking joists. They are processed to a more stringent specification and consequently the Manufacturer offers a 15 Year guarantee for these selected UC4 products.
UC4 Use Class and C16 Graded
We can now offer an increased range of timber, and related products, that may be needed for building a new deck. The latest products are UC4 timber joist in

Log storage in the garden
When the colder months close in, the need for dry logs for the fire, or log burner, increases. However, finding a good quality, reasonably priced log store may need a little effort. Outdoor log storage solutions are a fantastic way of keeping wood dry in wet weather, avoiding piles of wood building up inside the home and they'll ensure the garden is kept tidy, too.
