Decking

Decking

Decking is a raised, flat surface similar to a floor, and usually constructed outdoors. Decking is often connected to a building to act as a patio area extending the property to the outdoors. Timber or Composite Decking is popular as the base of a seating area for both commercial and domestic outdoor spaces. Easily transform your outdoor space or add an attractive ultimate finishing touch to a landscaping project with timber decking boards or composite decking.

Decking Boards

Timber decking has a rustic and traditional look and feel. Timber decking boards are manufactured from high quality softwood or hardwood. Decking timber is also available as treated, which will provide extra protection and a longer life for your decking. At Howarth we have an extensive range of decking boards, allowing plenty of choice of finish, look, feel, and pattern.

Composite Decking

Composite decking is a high quality, low maintenance decking option, providing a long-lasting space for entertaining or relaxing in comfort, with very little maintenance required. Available in a wide range of beautiful colours and styles, you will never need to stain or paint your composite decking as it will maintain its beautiful appearance for years to come. Trex composite decking is made of 95% recycled materials, is stain and rot resistant, rich in colour and has a deep timber grain in its protective outer shell.
