Advice on timber decking needed. I intend to install timber decking at rear of investment property, part of which I will let and part I will retain for myself as Summer residence. What are the advantages of hardwood decking over softwood decking ? I I have a large area to cover. I can get softwood decking from nearby sawmill approx cost 850 euro to cover area 10.9 metres by 1.8 metres. I then have to find carpentar to install.
I got a quote of 6200 euro for supply and fitting of hardwood decking including vat. The person that gave me the latter quote told me softwood decking would only last a few years. Is the maintenance similiar whether it is softwood or hardwood? If anybody has softwood installed for a number of years what is your experience? Is extra cost for hardwood justified?
