Douglas Decking Kit 5.0 x 2.5m | 75mm Framing

Premium Douglas Fir Garden Decking Kits – 5.0m Width

Elevate your outdoor space with our professional-grade Douglas Fir decking kits. Chosen for its superior strength and natural beauty, this 5.0m width range offers a high-end alternative to standard softwood. We have meticulously calculated every component—from the dense fir boards to the stainless steel fixings—to ensure a seamless, long-lasting installation for larger garden projects.

The Douglas Fir Advantage: Decking or Cabin Base

Renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and natural resistance to decay, Douglas Fir is the ideal choice for a premium garden deck or a heavy-duty timber frame base for a Log Cabin. 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.
