Natural Appearance

Douglas wood has a warm and natural grain structure that enhances any outdoor space. When left untreated, it will naturally weather to a silver-grey patina over time.

Applying oil or protective treatment can help preserve its original colour and extend its lifespan.

Installation

For best results, install Douglas decking boards on a stable and ventilated substructure. Ensure proper spacing between boards for drainage and natural wood movement.

Use stainless steel decking screws to ensure long-term corrosion resistance and secure fixing.
