WHY CHOOSE CCA TREATED PINE DECKING:

• CCA Treated Pine Decking is widely used and continues to grow in popularity and demand, because it is very cost-effective and holds a charming appeal.
• Pine timber is ideal for preservative treatment, and when treated to the correct hazard class, CCA Treated Pine Decking will last as long as most hardwoods. Preservative treatment protects the timber against insect damage and fungal decay, thereby significantly contributing to the durability of Pine timber used as decking and substructure material.
• Pine timber is easy to work with, and works well with both hand and machine tools, providing a satisfactory finish. Workability significantly contributes to the low cost of installation of CCA Treated Pine decking compared to hardwoods.
• Because Pine trees grow relatively fast, the tree that must replace the timber that was used in your deck will be ready to harvest before your decking needs replacement, making CCA Treated Pine Decking the sustainable option.
• Pine Timber is harvested from sustainably managed local forests. Consumers choosing CCA Treated Pine significantly contribute to the prevention of illegal harvesting of indigenous hardwood species used as decking material, making CCA Treated Pine decking an environmentally friendly choice.
• CCA Treated Pine Decking is an excellent choice for the harsh African conditions and when installed, treated, and maintained correctly, it will last you a lifetime.
• CCA Treated Pine Decking has many different applications and can, for example, also be used for walkways, fencing, picnic benches, and patio furniture.
