qj7777 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hey, Does anyone have some ball park prices for cheap smart wood decking per square meter? Thanks, Ollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Wood and cheap don't go together if you want something that the local wildlife won't make a meal of ???? We used Conwood Decking (30cm x 3m x 25mm) which looks like wood when painted and won't get eaten by anything. Comes out at about 500 Baht per m2 before paint. Also we built our deck framework in steel for similar reasons, steel is cheap and readily available here and the tools (welder, chop saw, angle-grinder) can be had for very reasonable prices if you want to DIY.

pineapple01 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Ours is Teak. Oh My Lord, to replace would be the same as a new Benz. Wana Swap, we never used it in 25 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with regards to not using wood, i've suffered with termites in the past and it can get expensive to repair things! Shera wood is also and option and is very durable.

Langsuan Man Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Unless you can afford to purchase teak, my experience is that we have super termites here in Thailand and they have a voracious appetite and no amount of pest control will slow them down. After five years, gave up and got rid of all the wood that had not already been eaten and went totally metal and tile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
