Timber Boardwalk Components (2)

Deckwood Handrails

This select grade timber is available in two forms.

The first is dressed all round, arrised four edges and treated after machining. It is available in either 95x45 mm or 145x45 mm. This item is normally used for bridges where the spans are up 2.4 metres.

The second, intended for boardwalks with up to 3.0 metre spans is available in 100x100 mm, 100x75 mm and 75x75 mm. These larger sizes can be supplied either rough sawn and treated or with a 6mm radius formed on each edge prior to treatment.

Deckwood Fan Tapers

These allow the easy construction of boardwalks that curve gracefully. The sizes available are:

Joistwood

Joistwood is a grade of spotted gum suitable for boardwalk joists. It is available in two sizes, 150x75 mm and 200x75 mm. The wide joist allows the builder to stagger the alignment of the 14 gauge screws along its length to avoid damage by the fixings. (Refer to the Boardwalk technical information for span charts and information on its use).
