FAQs

How many decking boards do I need?

To find out how many decking boards you’ll need for your garden, measure the total area of your decking space and a singular decking board, then divide the space total by the board total. We recommend adding an additional 10% so you can cut freely. 

How do you clean decking boards?

How you clean your decking boards will depend on their material, but for timber decks, you’ll want to sweep off any debris, before scrubbing each deck board with a stiff brush and warm, soapy water. Once finished, rinse thoroughly and then let it dry before placing any furniture or pots back onto it. If you’d like a deeper clean, use a pressure washer.

What gap should you leave between decking boards?

We recommend leaving a 5-6mm gap between each deck board for drainage purposes, and because boards will naturally expand from moisture.

What are decking boards?

Decking boards are long, flat boards that are used to create an outdoor deck or raised platform, typically in garden spaces.
