Timber Boardwalk Components

Boardwalk kits can be supplied to a customer's design using our boardwalk components. (Refer to our Timber Guides for instructions). Below is a short introduction to the main products.

Boardwalk Pre-fabrication

For simple alignments with either bedlog or potted pile footings, your boardwalk can be supplied fully pre-cut and drilled with minimum on-site construction. This is ideal for environmentally sensitive areas. Where driven piles are used for footings full pre-fabrication is not recommended.

Deckwood Decking

There are over 200 species of eucalyptus milled commercially in Australia. Most are unsuitable for external use because of either high shrinkage with resultant dimensional instability or low durability. Commercial grades for home construction (F14 or F17 of the Australian Standard) are unsuitable as these allow a high amount of defect. Weather related degrade is usually associated with existing defects. We produce a high quality decking timber - Deckwood which now allows a client to specify a grade of timber suitable for the application. It is far above the Australian Standard. (Refer to the technical data sheet for sizes, span tables and design details).
