Silvertop Ash timber
Oil every face and cut end before fixing and keep the finish up; a bare Silvertop deck greys quickly. Lay on H3 treated pine joists at 450 mm centres. For a bushfire site that needs BAL-29 in 19 mm, see Merbau, Spotted Gum or Blackbutt.
Silvertop Ash decking in Melbourne
Silvertop Ash (Eucalyptus sieberi) is the pale option among Australian decking hardwoods: a light brown board with a straight grain that suits modern, low-contrast decks. It is Class 2 durable above ground and its heartwood is not termite resistant, so the frame under it should be treated pine or a durable hardwood and the boards kept clear of the ground.
