Every beautiful deck has a hidden pillar of strength: its Timber Substructure. This underlying structure not only anchors the deck firmly, but also influences its visual appeal and durability. Dive deeper into the world of Timber Substructure with us!
What is Timber Substructure?
Imagine the timber substructure as the silent guardian beneath your deck. It is the structural core that holds up the visible decking, ensuring a consistent, flat, and visually striking surface. Acting silently yet effectively, it offers stability, form, and enduring quality to your outdoor areas.
Why Timber Stands Out
- Tradition Meets Modernity: Timber has been the go-to choice for decking substructures for years. Its natural appeal, combined with modern treatment methods, makes it a reliable and attractive option.
- Cost-Effective: If you are working within a budget, timber offers an economical solution. Its upfront cost is generally lower than its steel or composite counterparts.
- Versatility in Design: One of timber’s standout features is its adaptability. Whether you are envisioning a simple square deck or a complex design with multiple levels and steps, timber can be easily customized on-site to bring your vision to life.
Key Considerations for Timber Substructures
- Weather: Timber, being a natural material, reacts to weather conditions. In areas prone to heavy rainfall, it is crucial to be aware that timber can absorb moisture. This can lead to potential challenges, such as warping or rotting. However, with the right treatment and design, these issues can be mitigated.
- Treatment: Opting for special treated timber can be a game-changer. Right treatments fortify the wood, making it more resistant to rot, decay, and those pesky insect infestations.
- Airflow: A well-designed timber substructure promotes good airflow underneath your deck. This not only helps in keeping the area dry but also plays a pivotal role in preventing rot and extending the life of your deck.
How to Build a Substructure?
- Mapping the Masterpiece: Begin by marking out your deck area. Using string and pegs can help you visualize the space and ensure accuracy.
- Groundwork: Prepare the ground by removing any sod and weeds. This ensures a clean slate for your substructure of timber.
- Layout: A level ground is crucial for stability. If your area slopes, create a gentle incline away from adjacent structures to aid in drainage.
- Protective Preparations: Lay down landscaping fabric, followed by a layer of pea shingle. This duo acts as a protective barrier, preventing weed growth and aiding in drainage.
- Construct with Care: As you build your timber subframe, ensure that the joists are parallel and evenly spaced. This meticulous approach guarantees stability and wards off potential issues in the future.
