Timber Decking in Ireland — Natural Hardwood & Softwood Boards Built to Last

The timber decking Irish homeowners choose brings natural warmth and grain that no alternative can fully replicate. At Timber Ireland, we supply timber decking boards in species including Ecowood, Cedar, Yellow Balau hardwood, and MicroShades, available from our Dublin showroom with nationwide delivery across Ireland. From rich, hard-wearing hardwoods to budget-friendly softwoods, every board is selected to perform in the Irish climate. Prices start from €11.99 per board.

Why Choose Timber Decking?

Timber decking offers something composite can’t fully replicate: the genuine warmth, grain, and feel of natural wood underfoot. It suits everything from traditional gardens to contemporary outdoor rooms, can be sanded and refinished over its lifetime, and comes in a wide range of price points. For homeowners who want a real-wood look and don’t mind a little seasonal upkeep, timber remains the classic choice. If you’d prefer a zero-maintenance alternative, our composite decking range is worth comparing.

Our Timber Decking Ranges

Ecowood Decking

Our most affordable option, Ecowood decking is an engineered board that delivers a clean, uniform finish at an entry-level price, ideal for covering larger areas on a budget.

Cedar Decking

Cedar decking is naturally lightweight, stable, and beautifully grained, a softwood that brings warmth and a fine appearance to any deck.

Yellow Balau Hardwood Decking

A dense tropical hardwood, Yellow Balau decking is prized for its strength and longevity, with smooth, grooved, and non-slip profiles available for high-traffic and wet areas.

MicroShades Decking

MicroShades decking offers a modern, multi-tonal finish in smooth and grooved profiles, a contemporary take on natural timber.

Timber vs Composite Decking — Which Is Right for You?

The choice comes down to upkeep versus authenticity. Timber gives you genuine wood character and a lower entry cost, but needs periodic oiling to stay at its best. Composite decking costs more up front yet needs virtually no maintenance and won’t warp or fade. Many customers compare both before deciding, and our team is happy to talk you through the differences.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are timber decking boards made from?

Timber decking boards are cut from solid natural wood. We stock both hardwoods like Yellow Balau, prized for density and durability, and softwoods and engineered options such as Ecowood and Cedar that offer great value with natural good looks.

2. How long does timber decking last in Ireland?

With correct installation and regular maintenance, quality hardwood decking can last 20 years or more in the Irish climate. Softwood decking typically lasts around 10 to 15 years. Lifespan depends largely on drainage, ventilation, and how often the boards are treated.

3. Do timber decking boards need oiling or treatment?

Yes. Unlike composite, timber decking benefits from periodic oiling or treatment, usually once a year, to protect the surface, manage colour, and reduce moisture movement. This upkeep is what gives timber its enduring natural character.

4. What’s the difference between hardwood and softwood decking?

Hardwoods such as Yellow Balau are denser, more durable, and naturally more resistant to wear, so they last longer and command a higher price. Softwoods are lighter and more affordable, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious projects.

5. Which timber decking is best for the Irish climate?

Dense hardwoods like Yellow Balau cope particularly well with wet Irish conditions thanks to their natural durability. Whichever species you choose, good substructure ventilation and drainage are key to long-term performance here.
