Merbau Decking – 140x19MM

Merbau’s the classic hardwood you see on Aussie decks everywhere. It’s got that deep reddish-brown colour, with decades of use behind it. At 140mm x 19mm, you’re getting a solid, generous board with all the strength and durability real hardwood brings.

• Dense hardwood timber, naturally resistant to termites and general decay. 
• Rich reddish-brown colour with visible natural grain, deepening further with age and sun exposure.
• 140mm width gives a wide, substantial board face, meaning fewer joins across a standard deck. 
• 19mm thickness offers a solid structural feel underfoot, with minimal flex. 
• Suitable for oiling or staining to maintain and enhance its natural colour.
• Supplied in random lengths, typical of hardwood decking timber.

Applications and Suitable Uses

• Residential decks and patios – A long-standing, traditional choice for Australian outdoor decking.
• Pool surrounds – It is well-suited to areas with regular moisture exposure.
• Pergolas and alfresco areas – Suits both open and covered outdoor structures.
• Garden paths and walkways – Dense and durable enough for regular foot traffic.
• Screening and fencing – The same timber is commonly used for these purposes, in addition to decking.

Why Choose Merbau Decking?

There’s a reason Merbau’s still one of the most popular timbers for Aussie decks; it just performs. Termites and rot don’t bother it much; it’s tough enough for a family that’s on the deck constantly, and over time it settles into that deep, warm brown people love a genuine hardwood for. Sure, you’ll be out there with the oil every so often, more than you would with composite, but for a lot of homeowners, nothing quite matches how real timber looks and feels underfoot.
