decking, posts, poles & other timber We started supplying decking after numerous enquiries. Mind you according to Titchmarsh it's not 'cool' anymore. Anyhow, we've chosen a pressure treated softwood decking that feels substantial and hardwearing. Easy to cut and drill.
The popularity of landscaping poles in the possibility of creating something that looks natural, is quick to use, light to handle and soon weathers as though it's been in your garden for years.

What is 'ACQ', Tanalith 'E' or 'pressure-treated' timber?
It is a wood preservative treatment that protects against decay fungal /insect attack
It is a treatment that is much more friendly to people and the environment, than Creosote, that was banned in 2003. See Treatments

~ The timber is treated using pressure impregnation with a water based preservative, complying with BS 4072
~ Treated timber has a green or natural pine colour.
~ When impregnated into the timber the chemical components become fixed within the wood structure and are leach resistant.
~ Usually specified for general construction and outdoor timbers

How long does it last?
Believe it or not, the treatment companies (and hence us!) offer NO GUARANTEE
at all as to the treatment and the longetivity of the timber. They argue that the way timber is used and constructed is in so many different applications and settings (above ground, under ground, in water etc...) not to mention timber naturally splitting and moving, and being cut, drilled into etc.. that they cannot guarantee or predict how long the timber will last and how long the treatment will be effective.

Sitting on the fence
In reality, like many companies, they are frightened about people making claims against them, and so chose to offer no guarantee, rather than risk someone wanting the whole of their fencing to be replaced after 10 years, if it starts to rot.

Conclusion
Although we all know that pressure treated timber will last considerably longer than 2 days (!) we are unable to say or guarantee how long it will last. Sorry.It's all very unsatisfactory, but it's the way of the world !
Of course there's a time and place for conventional decking - it's lighter, cheaper, easier to cut etc.. & boringly sold at every street corner (including by ourselves !)
