🔧 DIY Tips
Replacing decking boards yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need

- Drill and screws
- Pry bar
📐 Replacement tips
- Cut back to joist centre
- Check frame for rot
- Use stainless screws
- Pre-drill ends
- Match existing spacing
⚠️ Common issues
- Wrong size boards
- Missing joist support
- Splitting new boards

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match my existing boards?
Usually yes - we source matching or very similar timber. If your deck has aged, new boards may look different initially but will weather to match.
How many boards?
From one board to several. We quote based on quantity. Extensive damage might be better addressed with section replacement.
Do you check the frame underneath?
Yes - while boards are up, we check the frame. No point replacing boards over rotting joists.
What if the frame is damaged?
We'll tell you honestly. Sometimes what looks like a board problem is actually a frame problem. Better to know.
