38 x 90mm Canadian Barefoot Decking

Canadian Lodgepole 'treated' Pine decking - Now with 20% off!

When it comes to economical pressure treated decking, Barefoot is in a class of its own. It is dense with tight growth rings and offers excellent strength and stability.

Barefoot has a smooth surface rather than being grooved as most treated deck boards are in the UK. The main disadvantage of grooved or reeded deck boards is that they hold water and trap organic matter such as dead leaves which causes algea growth.

With its smooth profile and rounded edge Barefoot is aesthetically pleasing and as its name suggests, pleasant to walk on 'barefoot'. Water drains off quickly rather than becoming trapped in the grooves so it dries out faster too.

In the US and Canada where decks have been popular for over 30 years, grooved deckboards are unheard of.

Thicker than most

At 38mm, Barefoot is thicker than most deck boards out there. Not only will this give you a deck that feels sturdy and solid underfoot but it will save you time and money too. 38mm decking will span joists spaced at 600mm centres rather than the standard 400mm. This means you will need fewer joists and deck screws and the deck will take less time to build.

Uses

Although this product is produced for decking with finished sizes of 38 x 90mm and 38 x 140mm it has a number of other uses including:

Deck joists & beams (these are standard US joist sizes - nominal 2x4" & 2x6")
Pergola beams & rafters
Deck hand railing
Wall studs for building
Fence rails

Preservative Treatment

Canadian Barefoot is kiln dried and heat treated before treatment then returned to the kiln again after treatment for fixation to lock in the preservative.

Barefoot is treated with an advanced formulation of Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ) providing you with all the benefits preservation technology offers in stopping premature aging, wet and dry rot, mould and insect attack. ACQ is a proven technology that represents the next generation in wood preservation. It can withstand harsh weather conditions and is effective for up to 50 years.
