Product Information

Full details

The Snowdon Timber Treated Reject Decking Board is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and landscapers looking for a durable, budget-friendly foundation for garden projects like patios, raised beds, or walkways. These boards are pressure-treated to withstand rot, decay, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring long-term reliability for your outdoor structures. Please note that as a 'reject' product, these boards may feature natural imperfections such as knots, wane, or surface defects, which provide a rustic aesthetic but may require careful selection during installation.

FAQs

What does 'reject' mean for this timber?

It means the boards did not meet the strict visual quality control standards for premium lumber. They may have knots, slight wane (rounded edges), or surface imperfections, but they remain structurally sound.

Can I use these boards for main decking areas?

Yes, but they are better suited for rustic designs. If you require a perfectly uniform, knot-free deck, you may prefer a higher-grade timber.

Do I need to treat these boards myself?

They come pressure-treated, so they are protected against rot. However, applying a stain or oil finish is recommended for improved aesthetics and additional weathering protection.

How should I store these boards before use?

Keep them stacked flat in a dry, well-ventilated area, ideally covered with a tarp that allows airflow, to prevent them from bowing or twisting.

Are these boards suitable for raised garden beds?

Yes, they are highly suitable for raised beds, but it is recommended to line the inside of the bed with a heavy-duty plastic membrane to prevent direct soil contact with the wood.

Troubleshooting

Board is warped or twisted

Use clamps or a board straightener during installation to force the board into alignment, then secure it firmly with deck screws.

Timber is splitting during fastening

Always pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the diameter of your screws to relieve pressure on the timber fibers.

Surface feels rough or has splinters

Lightly sand any rough areas or defects with medium-grit sandpaper after installation to create a safer, smoother finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more cost-effective than standard premium-grade timber
  • Pressure-treated for long-term outdoor protection
  • Sturdy 25mm thickness provides excellent weight-bearing capacity
  • Ideal for rustic-style garden landscaping or utility projects

Cons

  • May contain surface defects, wane, or loose knots
  • Not suitable for high-end aesthetic decking where a uniform appearance is required
  • Requires manual selection and sorting upon receipt

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your project, use high-quality, exterior-grade screws designed for decking. Pre-drilling holes is highly recommended to prevent the timber from splitting, especially when working near the ends of the boards.

When installing, allow for a small gap (3-5mm) between boards to facilitate drainage and natural expansion/contraction caused by seasonal temperature changes. Once installed, while the pressure treatment offers core protection, applying a high-quality wood preservative or exterior decking oil every 1-2 years will further enhance the water repellency and color retention of the timber. Keep the boards off the ground during storage prior to installation, ideally in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
