FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does Merbau decking last?
With proper maintenance, Merbau decking can last 25-40 years. It's one of the most durable hardwoods available, naturally resistant to rot, decay, and termites.
What maintenance is required?
Merbau requires annual cleaning and oiling to maintain its rich color. Without maintenance, it will naturally weather to a silver-grey patina, which is also attractive but won't protect the wood as well.
Is Merbau suitable for coastal homes?
Yes, Merbau is excellent for coastal environments. Its natural density and oil content make it highly resistant to salt spray and moisture. We use stainless steel fixings to prevent any rust or staining.
How long does installation take?
Most Merbau deck installations take 3–5 days depending on size and complexity. We'll provide an accurate timeline during your free consultation.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, all our Merbau decking comes with a 7-year structural warranty covering workmanship and installation in line with consumer law. The timber itself carries natural durability that far exceeds this period.
