Douglas Decking Kit | 5.0m Wide | 50x150mm Framing

Premium Douglas Fir Garden Decking Kits – 5.0m Width (Heavy-Duty 150mm Frame)

Elevate your outdoor space with our professional-grade Douglas Fir decking kits, featuring a strong structural subframe. Chosen for its superior strength and natural beauty, this 5.0m width range offers a high-end alternative to standard softwood. By upgrading the framing to 50x150mm timbers, we provide a robust foundation suitable for larger spans, elevated platforms, or heavy-duty cabin bases.

The Douglas Fir Advantage: Superior Strength & Durability

Renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and natural resistance to decay, Douglas Fir is the premier choice for a luxury garden deck. These boards feature a versatile dual-surface design: one side is relief-cut (grooved) for a classic, slip-resistant finish, while the other is planed smooth to showcase the species' famous straight grain and warm tones.

Please note: These kits are designed to be cut to size during installation. This specific range is for 5.0m width configurations with a deep-profile framing system.
