3 Styles Of Garden Decking Compared
Garden Decks are perfect for adding class to your garden by transforming your out-door sanctuary into a lovely place to eat, drink and unwind. Decking is also a great way to make practical use of slopes in garden by creating different levels and steps. Some even go a step beyond just landscaping and use decking to cover up unwanted surfaces making them a very practical choice for troubleshooting garden imperfections. Garden timber decks are constructed using a wide range of materials like western red cedar, lumber, composite material, teak, mahogany, and other hardwoods as well as recycled planks. Each type of decking has a slightly different look and recommended use to it.
Here are 3 popular styles of garden decking compared:
Ipe Decking - Ipe decking originates from South America and is a very popular choice for decking on a budget without compromising on the look. Considered be the one of the hardest woods in the world (strength is three times harder than oak) it is recommended for all types of gardens and extremely popular for patios. Dark brownish olive to dark olive in appearance its interlocked installation means it makes a great candidate wood for a do it yourself project.
Teak Decking - Teak Decking originates from Indonesia and is golden in color with dark markings and a straight grain. Because there's no need to use preservatives and sealants it is recommended for gardens and outdoor pools. Over time it will take on a natural silver-gray patina color which truly adds class to any garden landscape project and will yield an startling exotic look.
Iroko Decking - Iroko decking also know as 'African Teak' originates from Africa and is an exotic stylish hardwood. Iroko is extremely durable and rich in color and appearance. Although initially yellow in colour it naturally weathers to a beautiful, brown chocolate color which will give your garden a special exotic zenic look. Recommended for all types of gardens and out-door uses, it has also been known to be used in the boat building industry vouching for its quality and durability.
Before buying garden decking boards you will need to ensure that the timber has been treated so it is unaffected by insects, fungus, acids or alkalis.
