03 Mar Is Your Timber Deck Ready for Warmer Weather?

As the days grow longer and temperatures begin to rise, now is the perfect time to ask yourself: is your timber deck ready for the warmer weather ahead? Whether your deck is the centrepiece of your garden or a functional space for entertaining, ensuring it is in top condition will help you make the most of the sunnier months.

At Brookridge Timber, we offer high-quality timber decking and all the essential components you need to refresh or build a durable, stylish outdoor space. From decking boards and balustrades to posts and stair treads, our range is designed to provide longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Why Spring is the Best Time to Inspect Your Deck

After months of rain, frost, and potential neglect over winter, your deck may need some attention before it’s ready to host family barbecues and evening gatherings. Timber decks are exposed to the elements year-round, which can lead to:

• Moisture absorption – leading to swelling, warping, or fungal growth.
• Surface debris – such as dirt, leaves, and moss that can make decking slippery.
• Loose or worn fixings – nails, screws, or joists that may need tightening or replacing.
• Weathering and fading – UV exposure can cause timber to lose its colour and natural oils.

By taking the time to check your timer decking now, you can address any repairs, reapply treatments, and prepare your outdoor space for a season of enjoyment.

Brookridge Timber’s High-Quality Timber Decking Range

At Brookridge Timber, we supply a complete range of decking components, making it easy to repair, replace, or build a new deck.

Durable Decking Boards

Our timber decking boards are available in ex 32mm x 125mm sizes with lengths of 3.6m and 4.8m, providing flexibility for different deck layouts. We also offer boards with anti-slip inserts, perfect for those who want extra safety in areas prone to dampness.

Each of our decking boards undergoes a rigorous high-pressure treatment process in our ISO 9001 audited facility. This treatment extends the life of the timber, making it resistant to wood decay, fungal attack, and insect infestation.

Our pressure-treated decking is available in User Class 3 treatment, ensuring protection against the elements. For decks in contact with the ground or particularly exposed areas, we also offer User Class 4 treatment, providing additional defence against moisture and decay.

Stair Treads & Balustrades for a Stylish Finish

If your deck features multiple levels, stairs, or an elegant balustrade, we have the perfect products to complete the look. Our stair treads, posts, and timber spindles are all pressure-treated for longevity. These additions not only provide safety but also enhance the overall design of your deck.

Decking Rails & Posts for Structural Strength

Strong, secure decking posts and rails are essential for a long-lasting deck. Our pressure-treated decking rails help form an attractive, sturdy balustrade system, perfect for defining your outdoor space while offering safety and stability.

All our decking components are crafted with superior durability in mind, ensuring that your deck will stand strong for years to come.

How to Prepare Your Deck for the Warmer Months

Now that you know what decking materials Brookridge Timber offers, how can you get your deck in shape for spring and summer?

1. Give It a Thorough Clean

Over winter, your decking can accumulate dirt, moss, and algae, making it slippery and dull-looking. Start with a good sweep to remove leaves and debris. Then, use a decking cleaner to break down grime and restore its natural colour.

2. Inspect for Damage

Check for loose or cracked boards, raised nails, or weak posts. If you spot any issues, Brookridge Timber has a wide selection of replacement decking boards and components to restore the integrity of your deck.

3. Apply a Fresh Treatment or Sealant

If your deck is starting to look weathered or faded, a protective sealant, stain, or oil can help rejuvenate it. This adds an extra layer of protection against UV rays and moisture, preventing premature ageing.

4. Consider Expanding or Upgrading Your Decking

Thinking about extending your deck or adding a new feature like a pergola or raised platform? Spring is the perfect time to make improvements before summer entertaining begins.

At Brookridge Timber, we supply all the timber decking materials you need, ensuring a seamless and stylish upgrade.
