The vast majority of garden decks are constructed out of pressure treated softwood. Decking projects using softwood, should last for at least fifteen - maybe 25 years. The treatment is normally Tanalith-E, which is the construction industry norm for anti rot, anti decay properties. Softwood decking treated with Tanalith-E is totally environment friendly. These London decks have all be constructed using softwood, and other than the odd bit of post-winter cleaning, will require very little in the way of maintenance. They will need no further preservative treatment, but can be stained if desired, using a high quality timber stain, such as those produced by Sadolin.
