3.4 Spotted Gum Screening
NOTE: Finlayson spotted Gum decking is durability class one above ground and is one of only two native specie decking Finlayson’s recommend for a hassle free, long life. Choose a tried and tested Australian specie in spotted gum as cheaper up front alternatives can cost more in the long run.
Spotted Gum is a Durability Class 1 above ground specie, which is both stable, dense and very hard to suit our harsh Australian conditions.
Boral Decking is manufactured from Australian hardwood species that have proven durability in Australian conditions.
Boral Timber decking is AFS Chain of Custody certified providing peace of mind that Boral’s decking is sourced from sustainably managed and legal forestry.
The same timber species can be used for internal flooring and outdoor decking, to provide a seamless transition from inside to outside, expanding living areas or to create an outdoor room.
Blackbutt and Spotted Gum have a natural fire resistance. Their fire retarding properties make them suitable for use in many bushfire prone areas under Australian Standard AS3959.
Australian hardwoods can easily be finished with a clear decking oil or stain. Alternatively the timber can be left to weather to turn an attractive silver grey. After timber has weathered it can be restored to its original colour by resanding and coating.
Building codes and Australian Standards should be adhered to when building with Boral Decking.

Build More Decks HardieDeck™ goes down fast. The fast-track fixing system makes installation quicker so you can build more decks. Using HardieDeck means no pre-drilling, counter-sinking or board spacing and it’s more cost-effective than other decking materials.
HardieDeck is durable - it won’t split or rot and is resistant to termites, fire and moisture damage - so you can focus on building new decks instead of fixing call backs. The fibre cement boards and powder-coated aluminium accessories are all backed by a 10 year warranty.
InstallationHardieDeck is fast to install, with uniform 196mm wide and 3000mm long compressed fibre cement decking boards. The boards are 19m thick and have grooves machined into the long edges. The fastening mechanism is concealed and the jointing system consists of an anodised aluminium base jointer that is screwed to the framing joists. A powder-coated snap-in cover then covers the screw heads and gives a continuous contrasting line between the decking boards after the boards have been painted.
Because it’s HardieDeck™ not hard work
