My partner and I are going to be building a large deck to the rear of our house (who isn't) shortly and we are confused about what type of decking to use. There are so many, yet we're not sure which are the best to use. We have ruled treated pine out as we're not big on the look they create, but we're wondering which one is the best out of yellow balau, ironbark, merbau, spotted gum, jarrah etc. I'd appreciate any recommendations you guys can provide.
On that note, I'm interested in the I-Deck clip system which eliminates the use of unsightly filled nail holes, and would appreciate any feedback regarding these.
As we are building the deck ourselves, we will be saving quite a bit of money in labour, hence we are happy to spend more on materials.
Hope to get some feedback soon.
Cheers,
Lotte
