Natural softwood and hardwood decking looks and smells great, but needs maintaining every year with a sealant.

Composite decking, which is a mixture of wood waste and recycled plastic, is virtually maintenance-free.

Decking boards are long planks and are laid in the same direction.

Decking tiles are square and are usually laid in different directions creating a striking pattern.
