Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the timber treated for outdoor use?

Yes, the Scandinavian timber used in this kit is pressure-treated, providing a longer lifespan and robust resistance against rot and fungal decay, making it ideal for outdoor environments.

Are handrails included with this Powersheds decking kit?

No, this specific Powersheds Power Timber Decking Kit variant is explicitly designed without handrails. If handrails are desired, they would need to be sourced and installed separately.

What tools will I need for assembly?

You will typically need basic DIY tools such as a cordless drill/driver, a spirit level, a tape measure, a pencil, a square, and potentially a hand saw if any custom cuts are required for your specific installation.

Can I paint or stain the decking after installation?

Absolutely. Once your decking is assembled and clean, you can apply a timber-specific paint, stain, or oil to achieve your desired color and provide an additional layer of protection. Always ensure the timber is dry before application.

How long does the 10-year guarantee last?

The 10-year guarantee covers the timber against rot and fungal decay. It begins from the date of purchase, provided the product is installed correctly and maintained according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Do I need to build a concrete foundation for the decking kit?

While a concrete foundation isn't strictly required, the kit must be installed on a firm, completely level surface. A well-prepared base of compacted earth, gravel, or paving slabs is crucial for the stability and longevity of your deck.

Are spare parts available if I damage a board during assembly?

While the kit is comprehensive, Powersheds may offer replacement components. It's best to contact Powersheds customer service or your retailer directly to inquire about the availability of individual spare parts.

Troubleshooting

Decking boards appear uneven after assembly.

Thoroughly re-check the levelness of your prepared ground and the installed base rails. Uneven base rails are the most common cause of uneven boards. Adjust or shim the base rails as needed before screwing down boards.

Screws are stripping or not fully seating into the timber.

Ensure you are using the correct drill bit for pre-drilling pilot holes, especially in denser sections of timber. Reduce drill speed and apply firm, consistent pressure. If a screw head strips, try a screw extractor or remove carefully and use a slightly larger diameter screw or relocate slightly.

Timber shows signs of mold, mildew, or algae growth.

Clean the deck thoroughly using a dedicated deck cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water with a stiff brush. For stubborn areas, a low-pressure washer can be effective. Ensure good air circulation around and under the deck to prevent recurrence.

Decking timber seems to be weathering or losing its original color.

This is normal for outdoor timber. While pressure-treated, exposure to UV and rain will naturally alter its appearance. To restore and protect, clean the deck and apply a suitable timber deck oil, stain, or sealant. This will help maintain color and add an extra layer of protection.

Some decking boards appear warped or twisted.

Timber is a natural product and some movement can occur. Ensure boards are securely fastened to the base rails at regular intervals. If a board warps significantly shortly after installation, try re-screwing it. For severe warping, the board may need to be replaced. Ensure good airflow under the deck.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless Installation: Designed for easy self-assembly with pre-assembled modular sections.
  • Exceptional Durability: Pressure-treated Scandinavian timber offers excellent resistance to rot and a long lifespan.
  • Aesthetic Flexibility: Reversible decking boards allow for a customizable appearance.
  • Robust Construction: Tanalised base rails and stainless steel, corrosion-resistant screws ensure stability and longevity.
  • Peace of Mind: Comes with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee against timber rot.
  • Eco-Friendly Sourcing: Made from responsibly sourced timber.

Cons

  • No Handrails Included: This specific variant does not come with handrails, which might need to be purchased separately for safety or design.
  • Site Preparation Required: Requires a firm, level ground for proper installation, which may involve prior groundwork.
  • Maintenance Commitment: While durable, regular cleaning and occasional treatment are recommended to maintain its appearance and prolong its life.
  • Color Limitation: Currently available in brown, limiting immediate color choices without additional staining or painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Site: Ensure the area where you plan to install the decking is firm, level, and free from debris. A well-drained, compacted gravel or soil base is ideal.
  2. Unpack Components: Carefully unpackage all timber sections and hardware, checking against the packing list for completeness.
  3. Assemble Base Rails: Begin by positioning the pre-assembled modular base rail sections according to the instructions. Ensure they are perfectly level using a spirit level, adjusting as necessary.
  4. Attach Decking Boards: Lay the reversible decking boards across the base rails. Choose your preferred profile facing upwards. Secure each board using the provided green decking screws. It's recommended to pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting, especially near the ends of boards.
  5. Final Checks: Once all boards are secured, inspect the entire deck for stability and levelness. Sweep away any sawdust or debris.

Compatibility

This decking kit is designed for ground-level outdoor installation and is compatible with a wide range of outdoor furniture, planters, and decorative elements. While this specific kit does not include handrails, it can be accessorized with separately purchased handrail systems or balustrades if desired for safety or aesthetic reasons.

Care & Maintenance

  • Regular Cleaning: Sweep the deck frequently to remove leaves, dirt, and debris. Periodically wash with a mild timber-friendly cleaner and a soft brush or pressure washer (on a low setting) to remove grime and prevent mold or mildew buildup.
  • Inspect Annually: Check for any loose screws, damaged boards, or signs of wear. Tighten screws and replace damaged boards promptly.
  • Timber Treatment: Although pressure-treated, applying a high-quality timber deck oil, stain, or sealant every 1-2 years can further enhance protection against UV damage, moisture ingress, and maintain its aesthetic appeal. Ensure the deck is clean and dry before application.
  • Drainage: Ensure that water does not pool on or around the deck. Proper drainage helps prolong the life of the timber.
