4.8m decking boards manufactured to provide a strong, durable, and long-lasting solution for garden decking and outdoor living areas. With a finished size of approximately 120mm in width and 28mm in thickness, these boards are designed to deliver excellent structural strength, slip resistance, and long-term performance in external environments.

Each 4.8 metre decking board is produced from quality softwood timber and fully pressure treated through a tanalisation process. This treatment allows preservative to penetrate deep into the timber fibres, providing effective protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack. As a result, the boards are suitable for long-term outdoor use and can be installed in areas exposed to the elements throughout the year.

These decking boards feature a grooved surface profile. The grooves are designed to improve grip underfoot, helping reduce the risk of slipping in wet conditions. This makes grooved decking particularly suitable for garden seating areas, walkways, steps, and outdoor spaces where safety is a key consideration, especially during damp weather.

The 120mm width provides an excellent balance between coverage and appearance. Wider boards reduce the number of joints across the deck surface, creating a cleaner and more uniform finish once installed. This contributes to a professional look while also simplifying installation. The 28mm thickness offers excellent rigidity and strength, reducing flex and improving the overall feel of the deck underfoot.

The extended 4.8m length makes these decking boards ideal for larger decking installations and open garden spaces. Longer boards help minimise joins, resulting in a more seamless and visually appealing deck surface. This length is particularly useful for wide terraces, seating areas, and uninterrupted runs where continuity enhances the overall design.

Fully tanalised grooved decking boards are valued for their longevity and reduced maintenance requirements. Unlike untreated timber, pressure-treated boards are protected throughout their entire cross-section. This helps extend the lifespan of the decking, even in damp, shaded, or high-traffic areas, and reduces the likelihood of premature deterioration.

These boards are suitable for a wide range of domestic and trade applications. They are commonly used for garden decking, raised platforms, outdoor seating areas, walkways, and leisure spaces. The combination of a grooved surface and 28mm thickness makes them suitable for areas that experience regular foot traffic while maintaining comfort and safety.

Correct installation is essential to the long-term performance of decking. Adequate spacing between boards should be allowed to accommodate natural timber movement and promote drainage. Proper gaps help water run off the surface and reduce moisture build-up between boards. Boards should be fixed securely to a suitable subframe using exterior-grade decking screws designed for pressure-treated timber.

The grooved profile provides a practical, slip-resistant surface, while the natural timber appearance allows the boards to blend seamlessly with a wide range of garden styles. The boards can be left to weather naturally, developing a silvered finish over time, or treated with decking oils or stains to achieve a specific look. Any finishes used should be compatible with pressure-treated timber.

The 28mm thickness gives these boards a solid and premium feel compared to thinner decking options. This added depth improves load-bearing capability and helps reduce bounce when installed on correctly spaced joists. It also contributes to the overall strength and lifespan of the decking installation.

These 4.8m grooved decking boards are suitable for use with timber subframes and can be combined with matching joists, posts, and fixings to create a complete decking system. Their consistent sizing makes planning and installation straightforward for both new builds and refurbishment projects.

Fully tanalised decking boards require minimal ongoing maintenance. Periodic cleaning and occasional reapplication of protective finishes, where used, will help maintain both appearance and performance over time.

This decking option is suitable for both domestic customers and professional installers. It can be used in new garden projects or to refurbish existing decking areas where worn or damaged boards need replacing. Its strength, durability, and slip-resistant surface make it a reliable choice for long-term outdoor use.

The 4.8m grooved decking board measuring 120mm x 28mm provides a dependable solution for outdoor spaces that demand strength, safety, and visual appeal. Its combination of a grooved profile, generous width, solid thickness, and full tanalisation makes it well suited to a wide range of decking applications.

If you are looking for a strong, slip-resistant decking board suitable for large garden decks, walkways, and outdoor living spaces, the 4.8m grooved decking board offers the performance and reliability required for professional-quality results.
