90x19 Merbau Decking Select Grade KD Smooth Random Lengths

This listing is for RAW Merbau Decking 90x19 to ensure you get options to put any coating you like. Generally with Pre Oiled Decking one can not apply any water based products straight away. 

Merbau is a rich and highly durable hardwood that is widely renowned for its coarse but even texture along with a reddish-brown colour that darkens over time. It is one of the most commonly used decking and outdoor timbers for high-end residential and commercial projects in Australia.

Merbau decking can require more regular maintenance to keep it in good condition, including cleaning, sanding, and sealing. It is also important to use stainless steel screws or nails to prevent rust stains from developing.
