As the weather shifts and autumn brings rain, humidity, and cooler days, safety and durability in your outdoor space become a priority. If you’re looking for flooring for your yard, terrace, or garden that’s non-slip, resilient, and naturally beautiful, timber decking made from pressure-treated wood is the ideal choice.
Why choose decking over tiles?
Traditional flooring solutions such as tiles or marble often turn slippery and hazardous when wet. Timber decking, especially when crafted from pressure-treated wood with a textured, anti-slip surface, is a far safer and more reliable option outdoors. It offers excellent grip when damp, reducing the risk of accidents. Its slight natural flexibility also makes walking more comfortable, ideal for larger areas or high-traffic spaces.
The grooved or ribbed design of decking boards channels water away, helping the surface dry faster and minimizing moisture retention. On top of that, wood provides natural thermal insulation and warms or cools gradually, ensuring comfort underfoot in both summer heat and chilly weather.
All-season performance, everywhere you need it
Decking isn’t just for summer. It withstands sun, rain, humidity, and temperature changes, making it perfect for:
- Poolside and hot tub surrounds
- Covered or open terraces
- Garden walkways
- Outdoor lounges and dining areas
SHOWOOD decking is made from Scandinavian pressure-treated timber, designed for ground contact and built to resist time, weather, and heavy use.
Safe for families, seniors, and pets
Slippery ground, rain, and mud are common in autumn. Properly installed decking keeps outdoor areas safer, even when wet. Its ribbed or textured finish prevents slipping, while the natural elasticity of wood makes every step more comfortable. That’s why it’s an excellent choice for households with children, pets, or elderly family members.
Easy installation, instant transformation
Timber decking can be laid quickly over concrete, gravel, or soil, with or without a substructure depending on your project. No digging, no major renovation, just a simple, immediate upgrade. Within hours, your outdoor space feels warmer, more inviting, and ready to enjoy barefoot, with friends, or over a quiet coffee. It blends seamlessly into gardens, terraces, or any corner that needs a practical yet stylish refresh.
Low maintenance – Long lifespan
With basic care, timber decking retains its beauty and strength for many years. A simple rinse with water and mild cleaner keeps dust and dirt at bay, while occasional protective oiling enhances durability and refreshes its natural look. With minimal maintenance, your decking stays as good as new season after season.
SHOWOOD decking combines safety, natural elegance, and durability, creating an outdoor space you’ll love year-round, even on rainy autumn days.
