At Wood and Beyond we have a great selection of timber decking boards, including Cumaru, Iroko, Ipe and Teak. We’ve chosen these species of timber because we believe these options give a great range of colour choices as well as offering something for every budget. Irrespective of how much you pay for your decking boards, at Wood and Beyond, you can be sure you’ll get a great quality board for your spend.
Here’s an overview of each of the species we offer:
Cumaru
We have two cumaru options in stock right now. One is standard cumaru and the other is a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accredited option. With any FSC accredited wood product, you can shop in the confidence that your wood has come from well-managed and responsible forests. The two cumaru decking boards that we currently have on offer are quite different. The standard board is a rich, mid to dark brown, with a nice visible grain and the FSC option is a much lighter, smoother looking board. The prices at the time of writing are £37 and £61.66 per square metre respectively, so these options are truly accessible no matter the size of your budget.
Iroko
We currently have one iroko decking board option that is intended for hidden fixing. It’s a lovely honey colour and sports a regular grain. At just over £45 per square meter, this board is perfect for anyone seeking a light, warm looking deck at a great, mid-range price.
Ipe
At Wood and Beyond, we’re big fans of ipe decking and as a result currently have three different options on our site, one of which is a complete decking kit. The decking kit contains everything you’ll need to get your deck project completed, from start to finish, even featuring a pot of deck oil to make sure your deck is protected. The two other ipe options we have are offered either to be fitted with or without hidden fixing. The boards offered without hidden fixing is priced at a really competitive £49.78 per square meter and if you want hidden fixings, the price goes up only slightly to £56 per square meter. Either way, you’ll get a rich coloured, teak-looking wood for a great price.
Teak
Teak is often hailed as the king of decking. At Wood and Beyond we have two teak decking options; with and without hidden fixing. There’s no getting away from the fact that many people think if they’re having decking, it simply has to be teak. For this reason, we’ve scoured the globe to track down the very best quality teak at the very best price.
Other options
There are a huge number of timber decking board options available on the market and which you choose will depend to a large extent on your budget and the look you’re hoping to achieve. The best idea when making your selection is to decide which wood species takes your fancy and then shop around to make a short-list of suppliers who offer what seems to be good prices. Once you have those prices, it’s well worth doing your due diligence on the suppliers and then asking for samples. Even if you have to pay a small deposit for samples, or contribute towards the cost of delivery, it’s well worth investing a little upfront than investing a lot and regretting it.
