Frequently asked questions and common inquiries
1. What is bamboo decking made from?
Our bamboo decking is crafted from strand woven bamboo—a high-density material created by compressing bamboo fibres under extreme heat and pressure. The result is a durable, sustainable, and visually stunning timber alternative perfect for outdoor use. There is no plastics in our product.
2. Is bamboo decking suitable for New Zealand’s climate?
Yes, it is! Our bamboo decking is specifically engineered to handle New Zealand’s harsh conditions, including high UV exposure, wet climates, and coastal environments. It resists movement, warping, and cracking better than many hardwoods.
3. How long does bamboo decking last?
With proper installation and maintenance, bamboo decking can last 20–25 years or more. It’s a tough, long-term solution for residential or commercial decking projects.
4. Is bamboo decking environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. Bamboo is one of the world’s most sustainable building materials. It regenerates quickly—harvest-ready in just 5–7 years—and is harvested without replanting. Choosing bamboo means choosing a low-carbon, renewable product.
5. What maintenance is required for bamboo decking?
To preserve its beauty and performance, we recommend:
Regular sweeping and brush cleaning
Reapplying a quality UV-protective decking oil every 12–18 months
This helps prevent fading and moisture absorption.
6. How do I install bamboo decking?
Our bamboo decking can be installed similarly to hardwood timber. Use stainless steel screws or our hidden clip fastening system. We provide full installation guides to ensure your deck is done right the first time.
7. Will bamboo decking change colour over time?
Yes—like all natural timber products, bamboo will gradually turn a silver-grey patina when left unsealed. Applying UV water based aqua deck oil regularly maintains its rich, warm colour and adds longevity.
8. Is bamboo decking slippery when wet?
No. Our bamboo decking boards are textured with anti-slip grooves, making them a safe choice for areas around pools, spas, and stairs.
9. What sizes and profiles are available?
137mm wide and 178mm wide
1850mm and 3050mm lengths
Smooth and reeded profiles reversible sides
Stainless steel Hidden fastener or screw-down options
