Timber Wood
Timber decking gives off this natural warmth and timeless feel to your patio or garden, and this can be pulled off by doing the right treatments and finishes to it. At Colchester Decking Builders, we have all the proper equipment and tools to perform the right treatment and installation. Softwood and hardwood are two of the most common types of timber decking board, and each has their own unique features.
