Difference in timber decking grades?
  • Timber comes in different gradings which are based on the quality and the lengths you get out of the logs.
  • Typically your decking grades will come in either Standard & Better grade, Utility grade or Feature grade.
  • Standard & Better grade is the top grade of timber decking. You can expect at least one side of every board to be 100% usable with little to no gum veins, knots or natural feature. If they do have feature it will not impact the usability of the top of the board. The longest lengths available are in these packs but will roughly range from around 1.5m – 3.6m. This average will vary depending on the timber species and the logs available for milling. Batches will vary and some species are longer than others.
  • Feature grade is the lowest grade of timber decking. You can expect to find a lot of natural feature in the boards like gum veins and knots. There may be some checking and machine marks and imperfections in the boards on both sides. You can also expect the shorter lengths of timber as when the timber is sorted into standard and better etc the boards that don’t make the cut for standard & better go into these packs. That means anything too short or with features that may impact the usability of the entirety of the board.

    The average lengths can range from 900mm – approx. 2.4m or more depending on the species of timber.

    Feature grade can still be used for decking and other applications as the timber itself is still has the same strength longevity and density qualities. You may just need to account for extra waste for offcuts of boards and prepare yourself for a lot of joins and a little more work as there will be the odd board that is damaged or unusable
  • Utility grade is somewhere in the middle. Sometimes it can be the same as feature grade and sometimes a lot better than feature grade depending on the batches that come through from the mills. You can expect natural features, knots, gum veins, checking and imperfections.
    Lengths will range from short to longer. Generally they will range from approx. 1.2m – 2.7m in length and again there may be the odd board that is damaged.
  • For all grades of timber please note that lengths are not guaranteed to be any particular length unless you select set length decking boards, which will guarantee you that the board is a minimum of that length.
  • Random lengths will generally be a spread of lengths and will vary, with a higher percentage in the low to mid range as these lengths are more commonly cut out of logs and therefore there are a higher number of them milled.
Are the prices on the website correct?
  • The prices that you see on the website are the most up to date prices. If prices are to change you will find it here first.
