Red Iron bark and River Gum reds Decking
Forest Reds are one of Australia’s finest timbers and like all timbers it requires due care in its preparation from log to end user – for it to meet the rigors of Australia’s harsh climate.
To do this it takes time and money to slowly bring down the natural moisture content to a national average of approx. 16%.
Red Iron bark and River Gum Reds as a Raw Material:
These two hardwoods come from Queensland. The timber from this region actually provides a different wood that is shown mainly in the colour differences. Iron bark and River Gum Red is actually harder than Spotted Gum. Wood for decking is normally chosen by:

This hardwood is very hard and has it’s own natural oils so when you go to coat day one apply very thin coats as the wood cannot soak up the oil so it will sit on the surface.
Good tip is to leave for a few months – Then put a light sand over the deck then apply oil.
