Oak is one of the most revered and appreciated species of stock used in fine woodworking projects. It is hard, strong, and when finished properly, absolutely beautiful.
Oak wood has a density of about 0.75 g/cm³, great strength and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. It also has very attractive grain markings, particularly when quartersawn.
Building a timber deck is a wonderful way to enhance your home and garden. Wood is a natural product, which is versatile and much easier to work with than most other materials. You can build most shapes, sizes or styles from a single ground level deck to a large double level design complete with railings and stairs.
As with any home improvement project, when coming up with decking ideas you need to plan your job very carefully which we aim to do for you.
