More about wood and what wood we use?
Various types of treatment are used dependent on timber specie, traffic, UV exposure, and location.
Our preferred choices are Garapa, Jatoba and Saligna which is slightly softer, but each outdoor space requirement is evaluated on it’s specific requirements.
Maintenance
All wood products must be maintained and our recommendation is to give your deck a treatment every 6 months in order to keep the timber nourished. With the correct managed maintenance,your deck will keep looking good and rewarding you with the perfect outdoor sundowner spot.
Daws Projects are more than happy to offer a cost-effective maintenance package for your deck.
