Decking Boards – Hardwood, Douglas Fir, Composite & Bamboo
A deck or timber terrace is the perfect way to make more of your garden. At Houthandel Jan Sok you can choose from decking boards in hardwood, Douglas fir, composite and bamboo — the right board for every style, budget and maintenance preference.
Which decking board suits you?
- Hardwood decking — Cumaru and Ipé for a luxurious look and extreme durability (25+ years). Beautiful warm tones that weather to grey or can be maintained with oil.
- Douglas fir decking — A popular choice with a warm, reddish-brown colour. Excellent value for a natural terrace.
- Composite decking — Low-maintenance and splinter-free. Our NewTechWood composite boards combine a natural wood appearance with a 25-year warranty.
- Bamboo decking — Durable and extremely hard (harder than oak). An eco-friendly choice with a clean, modern look.
Anti-slip and safety
Many of our decking boards feature an anti-slip grooved profile, keeping your terrace safe to walk on even in wet weather. Ideal for waterside jetty decks, pool surrounds and play areas.

Veelgestelde vragen
Which decking board is best?
Hardwood (such as Cumaru) is the most durable. Composite is maintenance-free. Douglas fir offers the best value for money. The choice depends on your budget and maintenance preference.
How many decking boards do I need?
Use our m² calculator on the product page. As a rule of thumb: 6–7 boards per m² (at 145 mm width).
Is composite better than hardwood?
That depends on your priorities. Composite is maintenance-free and colour-fast, but feels less natural. Hardwood has an authentic appearance and is stronger, but requires annual maintenance. In terms of lifespan both are comparable (25+ years).
What substructure do I need?
Always use hardwood or aluminium support joists (45×70 mm or 40×60 mm). Space the joists at 40–50 cm centres for hardwood, and 30–40 cm for composite. Ensure at least 3 cm ventilation beneath the structure.
