Terra Deck – Red Merbau Fascia Board

One of the most common pain points with real Merbau decking is the tannin bleed — that orange-brown staining that washes off new boards and ruins surrounding pavers, pool coping, and concrete edges. Anyone who’s spent a weekend scrubbing tannin stains off freshly laid tiles understands the appeal of a Merbau-coloured product that carries absolutely none of that risk.

The Terra Deck Red Merbau Fascia Board is that product — at the deck edge. At 140x10x5400mm solid Gen 5 co-extrusion WPC, it brings the deep red-brown of classic Merbau hardwood to the perimeter of your deck without a gram of natural tannin in sight. The colour comes from the Gen 5 polymer cap, not from the board’s material chemistry — which means zero bleed onto pavers, pool surrounds, or light-coloured paving.

The solid construction gives the board the rigidity it needs to sit flush and firm against deck frame sides over the long term. It doesn’t flex under thin-profile loads the way a hollow board would, and it holds fixings firmly without the need for supplementary backing.

The Red Merbau tone suits traditional Australian homes — brick veneer, weatherboard, heritage-coloured render — where real timber has always been the default choice. Used as fascia, it brings that same character to the deck edges without the maintenance commitment that comes with real hardwood.

Face-fix with pre-drilled stainless or colour-matched composite screws. Match with the Red Merbau decking boards and bullnose for a complete, colour-consistent system.
