What's the best wood for stair landing ?

Hi all, 

I am restoring some old stars with 1 landing (U stairs). I am curious what type of wood I should get for:

1) For decking top side. 

2) for the base of the lading.

 

This landing always get the rain and that's why it is dying first. I will also be grateful if someone know what the best option is for stairs8c501022c440bfae113c346e800aec6e.jpg pieces are as well ?

Hi @ddel,

 

For the decking, I'd recommend a hardwood such as Merbau and to re-oil it every year. With correct maintenance it will last decades.

 

For the base of the landing, you'd use H3-treated Pine in 45mm thickness and width suitable for your load. 

 

For the stair treads, we offer pre-made treads, which are H3-treated Pine.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

This is a  huge help truly!
