With Australian consumers becoming increasingly aware of our environmental responsibility, there’s been an enthusiastic push towards seeking out sustainable alternatives to the things we use and buy. But it’s not just consumers who are making the change; many suppliers are stepping up and following suit.

The home improvement and decking industries are not exempt from the trend towards environmental consciousness; the market for sustainable timbers and composite boards has steadily grown.

Today a wide selection of decking products are available for consumers wanting a  sustainable decking option.

What exactly is sustainable decking?

Sustainable decking is created with environmental care as a priority. This approach sees an environmental ethos applied from the beginning, when trees are planted, and continues at every step of the manufacturing process.

A sustainable approach to decking is as possible with natural timber decking as it is with composite decking. Read on to learn more about sustainability in the decking industry.

Sustainable Australian Timber Decking

100% sustainable timber decking starts with sustainable forests. This means the timber has been grown and harvested in an ecologically responsible manner.

Care is given to ensure that every tree that is cut down is replaced by another tree that’s either naturally grown or planted in place.  

The process of sustainable care, however, does not stop there but forms part of a much larger process. 

Due diligence is taken to make sure the environment which surrounds harvested trees is also left untouched and there is minimal disturbance to native flora and fauna.

Nowadays, timber sustainability is highly regulated to ensure that all suppliers maintain high standards. As such, to be classified as “sustainable” it’s required that timber be harvested from an Australian or globally certified sustainable forest.

Before buying timber decking check to make sure your timber decking has been certified by a reputable outfit, for example:

While there have been many successes in the sustainable forestry, there are a few challenges for sustainable forestry endeavours on a practical level – mainly because it takes a long time for trees to grow to maturity.

Another environmental cost to consider is the post-harvesting processing; most hardwood and softwood timbers will still need to be treated with chemical solutions and oils to seal the product and maintain a good condition over time.

Sustainable Australian Composite Decking

Composite decking is a sustainable product by nature. Made of a mix of wood sawdust and recycled plastic material (such as polyethylene or polypropylene), it helps repurpose plastic waste to create decking that will last for years.

Depending on the brand of composite decking, boards may also include alternative or additional materials, ranging from fibreglass to fibre cement.

All things considered, many brands of composite decking is environmentally friendly and most certainly sustainable.  

Rather than allowing used plastic to go to the landfill, it proactively removes plastic waste from supply chains and integrates it into a high-quality decking product. Composite decking is a sought-after long-term investment for homes and commercial landscapes alike. 

Composite decking has other advantages for the environment, too – its ongoing carbon footprint is minimal.

Since most composite timbers require minimal maintenance, there is no need to apply chemical-based sealants, stains or oils, some of which emit greenhouse gases over the life of the decking product.

If you want to choose a truly sustainable option yet consider yourself a bit of a timber ‘purist’ – that is, you truly want that virgin timber look for your deck – then don’t overlook composite.  After all, composite products have come to a very long distance in the last decade.  

Composite decking has an almost identical appearance to that of natural wood, and you can choose colours and wood-grain styles to colour match your taste and style.  

In addition to the sustainability factor, the advantages of no maintenance decking cannot be overstated. Composite decking can look good as new over the long-term without anywhere close to the time and cost needed to maintain a timber deck.

What’s next?

Whether you end up choosing timber decking, composite decking, or reclaimed wood decking, the good news is there is a great deal of sustainable options for you to choose from for your decking. 

At Decking Perth, we go to great lengths to ensure that the decking we sell is kind to the environment. From sustainable timber decking to eco-friendly composite decking, we are your one-stop shop for earth-friendly decking.

Words will not do justice to the five-star service and products from the people at Perth Decking. Ross was more than helpful on advice on the flooring that I got and was able to ensure that it was delivered to the warehouse 4 days after my purchase to help me out. The flooring itself was a wonderful product, looks great and was fantastic to install. Ross also allowed me to return unopened boxes. The forklift driver was able to deftly manoeuvre the pallet onto the back of my ute so that I didn't have to load it manually and checked my weight to ensure that I had not been overloaded. Finally, when I returned home and unloaded, I noticed that my tarp bar was missing and the other salesman walked around the carpark, found it and had it waiting for me in the office when I returned. My neighbours were so impressed by the product when installed that they will be heading to Perth Decking for their requirements. Well done to all.

I recently contacted Decking Perth to purchase merbau decking. Ross was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me very good advice, completed my purchase and arranged delivery on the day I requested.The delivery driver was friendly and efficient, notified us of his arrival time on delivery day and placed the timber in a very convenient location as arranged.The merbau we received was of a beautiful quality, arriving in long straight lengths and easy to lay.I highly recommend Decking Perth to anyone requiring decking. The service we received was faultless and the quality of the product was excellent. We will definitely purchase our future decking requirements from Decking Perth.

Decking Perth were good to deal with but because they sub let the actual installation of the decking to various carpenter tradies, you need to check with them that the installer trade price is reasonable as per Perth decking quote indication.

Many thanks to the team at decking Perth specifically Phil for all their advice and info on moisture shield decking. The quality of the product is very good. I’ve included some basic photographs of my finished product and then a photograph of the 3 1/2 year-old new tech wood decking that I replaced. This was very poor quality. Thanks again I will use decking Perth anytime I require any form of decking. Rgds bill

The installation team were top notch and very professional, but the supply people at the warehouse said stock was there, then not, so we chose another board, then it turned out they did have stock. Overall a good experience.

The guys at Decking Perth were fabulous to deal with. Being a DYI project and never having built a deck before I had many questions which they were happy to answer. Their choice of products was extensive and we ended up choosing the Moisture Shield range. The product was great to work with and the result was fantastic. Decking Perth helped with all the ordering and delivery and happily accepted any returned unused items that were not required.Fantastic experience all round and we love our new deck.Thanks guys.

After visiting several decking businesses, I landed here to find excellent service, listening skills and advice. After choosing the material, they provided several quality different people to quote the job........(how much time did that save!) and as a result I have a lovely front and back deck. so pleased.

very good experience, very knowledgeable staff and high level of customer service.
Adrian at Decking Perth was very knowledgable and helpful and provided sound advice about suitable materials and finishes for my courtyard decking project for which I was very grateful. A big thanks also to Blake (contractor referred by Adrian) who did such a wonderful job translating my ideas into reality (including the bench seating) and whose workmanship was excellent. I am so happy with the finished Jarrah deck, which looks better than I could have hoped, and with my experience dealing with Adrian and Blake. Thanks so much guys!

We contacted Decking Perth via a website contact form and received a call back within an hour! We visited the showroom on a Saturday, took colour samples home and were contacted by two carpenters on the following Monday morning. Both were prompt and very reasonably priced. Our decking was completed within a day and all offcuts and rubbish removed.We are thrilled with the results.The process was quick, efficient, friendly and well priced.Thank you. :)
Great advice, products and service.Thanks for your help, appreciate it and the deck looks awesome

The level of service, quality of the timber and professionalism of the Decking Perth Team is without question the Best in the West! I placed my first order last month for some subframe H3 which arrived superfast, was well wrapped and of excellent quality. This week I have taken delivery of some additional subframe H3 and Merbau 5.7 FJ decking and was not let down. The only place I will order my decking supplies in future.
I went to a few places but none were as helpful as these guys,Got everything I needed with their help including some helpful advise on installation. Best I found and reasonably priced!Much appreciated to all
