Now’s the time to build or maintain your deck.


As days become warmer, the delights of outdoor living


are ever closer. And there’s nothing like the beauty and


practicality of a deck made from certified wood to enhance


your enjoyment of every occasion.


Easy on the eye and comfortable underfoot, a timber deck


is also an environmentally sound choice, as it stores carbon


(absorbed from the atmosphere by a growing tree) and has


low embodied energy. So, by choosing wood you’re helping


to tackle climate change too.


If you’re already the proud owner of a timber deck, now is


the time to freshen it up for the summer ahead. Whether it’s


just a check and a scrub, or a clean and recoat, a small


investment in time now will pay big dividends during the


long summer days.

using certified wood at the websites below.
