Reliable Spotted Gum Decking in the Long Run
Spotted Gum has earned its reputation with builders for good reason; it lasts. It’s a Class 1 timber for above-ground use, which means it’s up there with the most durable Spotted Gum Timber decking options. Whether your deck is exposed to full sun, salt air, or even bushfire, this timber holds steady. It is also termite-resistant, which is one less thing to worry about down the track.
The boards have a natural strength that helps them resist wear and surface damage. You’ll often see Spotted Gum Decking used in spots where durability really matters, like walkways, outdoor steps, or wide open decks.
A Bit of Character in Every Board
One of the things people like about Spotted Gum is how no two boards look the same. You’ll get colour variation that can shift from soft browns to deep reds. It’s got a bit more texture and interest than some other hardwoods, especially with its occasional wavy grain.
If left unfinished, it weathers to a soft grey. But if you want to bring out the depth of colour, a coat of oil goes a long way. Either way, it holds its shape well and doesn’t twist much when installed properly.
