Who is the PH'er with the nice rosewood type decking?

[mattdaniels]

Starting to plan the rear extension and decking. I recall PH'er called harv has almost the exact extension we are looking for, and someone else posted some really nice photos of a large deck constructed of a reddish brown wood, almost like boat decking. Not sure if it was rosewood. But it was very nice, deep red/brown and smooth not your normal B+Q type pressure treated green-tinged ribbed jobby.

If you are listening - please boing your thread or pearost the pics here. Also anyone else with nice decking pics - post away!

Glassman started a thread on decking, and posted some pictures.
Do a search, it's hilarious.

I think he used Balu (spelling) or Ipe

Might have been cedar - very good outdoors but expensive.






I was in B&Q today when an assistant came up and asked if I wanted decking. Lukcily I got the first punch in...

Rosewood might be a tad costly.

Redwood maybe, it will grey though if not uv protected.
Cedar isn't really all that red.

Not sure thats the one I was thinking of. IIRC the one I am thinking of had different levels / flower beds maybe. But that's the colour, so ta.

What you're looking for is called Balau - beautiful, the only way to go.
