Timber Decking
We supply and fit new timber decking and also repair and replace existing timber decks and balustrades. Timber decking is a popular choice for outdoor living spaces in Scotland, offering a natural and durable surface that complements the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape. The mild, wet climate can pose challenges, but with proper care and maintenance, timber decking can last for many years.
When installing timber decking in Scotland, it is important to consider factors such as drainage, exposure, and maintenance requirements. Proper installation and regular maintenance, including cleaning, treating, and repairing any damage, will help ensure a long-lasting and enjoyable outdoor living space.
Timber decking in Scotland requires regular maintenance due to the country’s wet and variable climate, which can cause wood to warp, rot, or become slippery with algae growth. To maintain it, clean the decking annually using a pressure washer or scrub brush with soapy water to remove dirt, moss, and algae. After cleaning, apply a wood preservative or oil to protect it from moisture and UV damage. Inspect the decking for loose nails, cracked boards, or signs of rot, and repair as necessary. Regular maintenance ensures longevity, safety, and preserves the natural beauty of timber decking in Scotland’s harsh weather conditions.
Timber Decking Balustrades
Timber decking balustrades and railings are a classic choice for enhancing outdoor spaces in Scotland, providing safety, style, and durability. Available in a variety of designs and finishes, they complement both traditional and modern aesthetics, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings. Popular options include standard timber railings with vertical or horizontal slats, providing a timeless look, or decorative panels featuring intricate carvings or lattice designs for added charm.
Timber balustrades can be crafted from treated softwoods such as pine or high-quality hardwoods like oak, which are naturally resistant to weather and decay. Pressure-treated timber is a practical choice for Scotland’s unpredictable climate, as it ensures long-lasting performance against moisture and fungal decay. Customisable finishes such as staining or painting allow you to match your deck’s style, with natural tones for a rustic feel or bold colors for a contemporary vibe. Handrails can be rounded or square-profiled for comfort and visual appeal, while post caps and decorative trims add character to the overall design.
