Why select Blackbutt boards for your decking project?
Built for WA conditions
Blackbutt decking is a highly durable Australian hardwood suited to above-ground outdoor use. It handles foot traffic, sun exposure and seasonal weather when installed and maintained correctly. In Perth conditions, that reliability matters. Its natural termite resistance adds further peace of mind for long-term projects.
Strong, stable and hard-wearing
Blackbutt timber decking in Perth offers impressive hardness and strength underfoot. It feels solid in entertaining areas, pool surrounds and high-use alfresco spaces. Builders often specify blackbutt decking boards because they deliver dependable performance without sacrificing a clean finish.
A light, contemporary hardwood finish
Colour is a defining feature of Blackbutt decking. Its natural honey to aged brown tones sit comfortably within modern homes and coastal palettes. It can be oiled to maintain its warmth or left to weather into a soft grey over time.

This hardwood offers Class 1 durability for above-ground use, providing high resistance to decay and termite attacks. This makes Blackbutt an ideal choice for decking in a range of climates and with its natural density, ensures that the deck will withstand high-traffic areas.
Blackbutt is classified as a Class 1 durability timber above ground and Class 2 in-ground, meaning it is highly durable and can last 40+ years above ground and 15–25 years in direct soil contact without treatment.
Aged blackbutt decking refers to blackbutt timber that presents with a deeper, more settled tone. This can be achieved through a pre-applied finish, or it can occur naturally over time as the boards are exposed to sun and weather. The timber itself remains blackbutt. The difference is in the look.
Yes. Blackbutt is recognised as a bushfire resistant under AS 3959. When used within the standard, blackbutt decking can be suitable for use in bushfire prone areas up to BAL 29.
It is important to understand that compliance is not determined by the timber alone. The full deck system, including subframe, fixings and detailing, must meet the construction requirements set out for the site’s assessed BAL level.
Before specifying blackbutt decking for a bushfire prone project in WA, a formal BAL assessment should be completed and the deck design confirmed against the approved documentation. Our team can help you navigate this.
