The timber used for the deck boards and the subframes is Baltic Spruce and is sourced from managed forests. The levelling blocks & wedges are made from Siberian Larch.

The timber is pressure treated with an E.C. approved system called Tanalith E which will prevent rot for at least 15 years. The deck boards are then treated with a decorative coating of Ronseal Decking Oil, Natural Cedar.

Vermont ready to fit decking is ideal for gardens that are relatively flat. If the slope in your garden is up to 24cm (10”) than you can use Vermont decking and using the Blocks & Wedge levelling system you can support the subframe to ensure that your deck is level.

No, not without taking other steps to level the garden. The Vermont levelling Block & Wedge system allows you raise the deck 24cm only.

We don’t recommend you cut the panels as this will reduce the structural strength of the panels. It is possible to cut the 2m and 1m single boards. The easiest way to fill awkward gaps is to use decorative stone, bark or planting. Alternatively you can use the Vermont infill bracket and boards.

If your garden is relatively flat the Vermont system is ideal for it. There is very little preparation work involved as we recommend that you level the deck and not the garden. If you are laying the deck on grass or soil we recommend that you first lay out a weed control fabric (available in all Woodie’s DIY stores nationwide). Applying a weed killer is also a good tip before laying the deck.

You only need to use 3 tools – a Philip’s screwdriver, ideally a powered model with No. 2 head, a 13mm spanner or a 13mm socket & wrench, and a spirit level.

Your Vermont ready to fit deck is pressure treated and is protected for at least 15 years. The decorative finish has been achieved using Ronseal Decking Oil, Natural Cedar. To maintain this finish we recommend that the coating is inspected on an annual basis and recoated as appropriate. The frequency with which it must be applied depends on the location of your deck, the weather itself and the foot traffic/usage of the deck.
