Description

How does the surface design improve everyday outdoor safety?

This outdoor decking kit utilises a grooved surface on the 19mm thick pine boards to provide essential grip that helps resist slipping outdoors. The deep ridges channel surface water away, preventing moisture from sitting on the deck after heavy rainfall. Measuring 120mm wide, each board fits together to form a highly uniform appearance that feels substantial underfoot. Built from carefully machined sustainable timber, the top layer is designed to handle consistent pedestrian use while maintaining its structural integrity over time.

What structural foundation supports this decking kit?

The 2.4m x 3.6m decking kit includes heavy-duty 44mm x 69mm bearers that create a secure structural foundation for reliable daily use. This integrated sub-frame lifts the primary 19mm thick pine boards off the ground, promoting essential airflow beneath the structure to defend against damp accumulation. By supplying these properly sized 44mm x 69mm bearers alongside the surface materials, the kit ensures the entire platform remains level and rigid. The spacious 2.4m x 3.6m footprint offers ample room for patio furniture or dining sets, granting you a stable outdoor living space.

How is the wood protected against ground moisture and decay?

This outdoor structure relies on pressure-treated timber to effectively defend against fungal rot and wood-boring insects over its lifespan. Manufactured entirely in the UK, the raw sustainable timber undergoes an intensive preservation process that forces protective chemicals deep into the grain. This essential treatment helps resist the damaging effects of prolonged soil contact and unpredictable seasonal weather. Because both the 19mm thick pine boards and the supporting 44mm x 69mm bearers are constructed from this resilient pressure-treated timber, the entire installation requires significantly less ongoing maintenance than untreated timber alternatives.

Features:

Guarantee – 10-year anti-rot

Board Size – 120mm wide

Joists – 44mm x 69mm

Treatment – Pressure-treated (application of preservative and waterproof coat required)

Make the Most of Your Wooden Decking

Transform a neglected corner of your garden into an inviting dining area by laying the 2.4m x 3.6m decking kit over a levelled base. The durable 19mm thick pine boards comfortably support heavy outdoor tables and chairs, while the textured grooved surface ensures confident footing when carrying food and drinks outside.

Establish a clean, dedicated transition zone between your back door and the lawn to reduce mud being tracked inside the house. The raised 44mm x 69mm bearers keep the platform elevated above damp ground, allowing the heavily protected pressure-treated timber to effectively resist the effects of sitting ground water throughout the changing seasons.

About Your Order

The Shire decking is made in the UK with sustainably sourced timber. You get a top-quality wooden decking with a low carbon footprint made from ethically sourced materials. The clean and straightforward design makes it easy to assemble, please note that the fixtures and fittings required are not included as part of your order. The decking has a 10-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty to enjoy it for many seasons.

Decking Maintenance

The Decking is made with pressure-treated timbers. The pressure treatment process forces preservatives into the wood under high pressure. It provides effective long-term protection against rot and fungus. Pressure treatment is almost colourless except for a light green tint caused by the copper content in the preservative. Over time, the treatment greys, but this does not affect the quality.

Shire, the manufacturer, advises that you must apply a wood stain, paint or waterproofing topcoat to make the product more water-resistant. The treatment must be carried out immediately after installation. Using the treatment after installation, followed by consistent annual treatment of the garden arbour, will maintain the high-quality finish and is a requirement of the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard.

To treat the decking, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish. In the options section, we’ve included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice.
