With proper maintenance, hardwood decking like Spotted Gumand jarrah can last 30 years or more, while treated pine provides excellent performance at a lower cost.

We recommend applying Cutek Extreme CD50 or Intergrain products every 12–18 months, or as needed, depending on weather exposure and foot traffic. Both brands provide excellent protection and help maintain the beauty and durability of your timber decking over time.

For natural timber decking, use high-quality screws to ensure durability and a secure finish. Recommended options include:

Blackhawk countersunk BH103D power 10: versatile and reliable for general applications.
Blackhawk speed drive SS304 BH106D (10g x 50mm): ideal for environments with moderate exposure to moisture.
Blackhawk speed drive SS316 BH108D and BH109D (10g x 50/65mm): perfect for high-corrosion areas, such as coastal locations.
Wurth A2 deck screw 16675550: highly resistant to rust and suitable for all outdoor decking applications.
Wurth RW20 driver bit (luminous orange): ensures smooth installation with precise fit.
Using stainless steel screws helps maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic of your timber decking.

These fasteners are designed to provide maximum hold without damaging the boards, thanks to their self-drilling capabilities and advanced thread design. Hulk fasteners are made from durable materials like 304-grade stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in coastal or humid environments.
Additionally, they are available in a range of colours to match the decking, ensuring a seamless and polished finish. Using these recommended fasteners not only ensures a professional installation but also maintains your deck’s warranty.
