Re: What material is my deck?

Hi @becfl,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

 

I am 99% sure based on the second image that it is composite as this is not what natural timber looks like. You can confirm this by looking at the end of a board. If it is timber, there will be visible growth rings, if it is composite there won't.

 

Check out the Ekodeck Decking Care & Maintenance Guide.

 

Ekodeck, which is our main composite decking supplier, recommends using hot soapy water and a deck scrub brush to scrub the deck, before washing it of with a pressure cleaner with a fan nozzle attachment.

 

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
