A great outdoor timber decking is a must have when you’re ready to spend more time in your backyard sipping your favourite juice and admiring the scenery. Extending a house is a good idea, and decking installation is the most cost effective way to create a stylish outdoor living space. Timber deck and composite decking materials are the two most common choices of deck materials in Australia.
Types of Decking Materials
Timber Deck
The timber deck has a traditional look and is highly durable, making it ideal for outdoor uses. However, there are more types of timber decks than you would think. Hardwood timber decks are an excellent option for decking since they are durable, hardwearing, and smell great. The most popular timber deck materials in Australia are blackbutt, merbau and spotted gum. They will also give a luxurious look to enhance any outdoor space. They also have budget options using pine decking timber, if required.
Composite Decking
If you want long lasting and low maintenance decking materials, composite decking materials may be the right choice for you. Composite decking is a type of deck material made of a mixture of timber fibres and plastics bound together by binding agents. Composites look like real wood and have a wide variety of natural colours, textures, and finishing options. The experts at Runaway Bay Decking can assist you with choosing the composite decking materials that are most suitable for your location and budget.
Decking Boards
Decking boards are available in two materials: timber and composite. For the traditional decking look, choose a timber deck. Some decking boards are softwood that have been kiln dried to eliminate excess moisture and prevent warping and shrinking. For a long lasting and low maintenance decking material, choose composite decking boards. Composite decking boards won’t fade in the sunlight, so they’ll last longer and look brand new.
Decking Tiles
Decking tiles are perfect for small decking areas like balconies and pathways, but you can also use decking tiles underneath the plant pots in your garden or conservatory. Why not use it as a temporary floor? They’re easy to transport and can be used to create a flat surface for camping chairs and picnic tables when you are camping or at a festival. Decking tiles are available in a variety of wood species and composite decking materials.

Types of Decking Designs
Ground Level Deck
Ground level decks are also known as platform decks that are near the ground. A ground level deck is a great way to add some liveability to your backyard, a flat level surface to grill, hang out, and entertain your family and friends.
Raised Deck
A raised deck is a great way to use the space that can otherwise go unused, such as slopes and uneven land. Raised decks are great for those who live in elevated homes that are closer to sea level or in a flood zone, as well as those who have a steeply sloped backyard.
Curved Decking
Curved Decking’s maintenance is a little bit easier than the other types of decks. Unlike standard decks, curved decking does not have intersections where trash and debris might collect. Rectangular and square decks have corners that you need to consider since they might be hard to clean. Curved decking makes it easier to sweep debris, leaves, and dirt away.
Free Standing Deck
A freestanding deck also known as a floating deck, is a deck that is not attached to any structure, including your house. Runaway Bay Decking’s professionals can install detached or freestanding decks.
Balcony Decking
Wooden balcony decking has many benefits. A hardwood timber deck on your balcony enhances the alfresco vibe. In comparison to ordinary plastic decking, wood is a good heat insulator. A wood deck gives a unique natural look to your balcony decking. That is because of the difference between each type of wooden decking board. Therefore, your balcony decking will not be the same when installing wooden decks compared to composite decking materials.
Decking Fixings
When building a deck, all decking fixings are essential. It should be resistant to corrosion to prevent the structure from rusting and deteriorating in subsequent years. Deck fasteners and screws are crucial in the installation and appearance of your deck.
Screws
Decking screws have advantages over nails as decking fixings since screws are more secure and you can easily lift decking boards for maintenance or repair underneath the deck. Lighting can also easily be placed, even after the decking installation.
Hidden Deck Fasteners
Another popular method of decking fixings is hidden deck fasteners. Hidden fasteners create a safe, clean, and smooth surface for bare feet. You can also use hidden deck fasteners with composite, vinyl, cedar and other hardwood timber deck materials.
