Timber or composite decking, which one should I choose?

When it comes to choosing the right decking option for your outdoor living space, it can be difficult to decide between timber and composite decking. Both have their own unique benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to consider your needs and preferences before making a decision.

Timber decking

‍Timber decking, such as merbau, spotted gum, and Blackbutt, is a classic and timeless option that adds warmth and natural beauty to any outdoor space. It's also affordable and easy to maintain with regular cleaning and staining. However, it does require more maintenance than composite decking.

Composite decking

‍Composite decking, on the other hand, is a modern and durable alternative that is resistant to weather. It's low maintenance and easy to clean, making it an ideal choice for the harsh South Australian climate. However, it is generally more expensive than timber decking and doesn't have the same natural aesthetic.
