Room outside: How to care for your decking

Prepare to relax on that older decking with our recipe for bright, beautiful boards 

Decking oil is satisfying to apply. Ensure your boards are clean before refreshing an existing deck. 

Timber decking can be refreshed and repaired season after season. Pressure treated, your deck and outdoor rough woodwork could last up to 20 years with care (50 years with a natural, oily hardwood like Acoya). 

With any material, plastic or honest wood, the plank or tile assembly of a deck allows you to easily replace areas of damage. Putting together a new summer stage, or incorporating wood areas as part of your landscaping — keep an extra couple of planks or tiles on hold, stored dry and flat to prevent any warping or bowing.
