Compatibility and Why it Matters

Hardware compatibility plays a key role in deck installation, ensuring all components work together seamlessly. The wrong hardware can lead to structural weaknesses, premature wear and costly repairs. By choosing the right fasteners, screws and clips, you ensure that your deck remains stable, resistant to environmental conditions and safe for long-term use. Sunstate Timbers stocks a variety of high-quality deck hardware designed to complement both timber and composite decking.

Selecting the Right Hardware

Composite decking requires specialised hardware to maintain its structural integrity, safety and appearance. Standard screws may not provide the necessary grip or durability, leading to loose boards and potential hazards. Instead, opt for corrosion-resistant fasteners, hidden clips and self-drilling screws that prevent splitting and cracking. Sunstate Timbers offers a selection of decking hardware that is specifically engineered for composite materials, ensuring a seamless finish and lasting durability.

Hardware for Timber Decks

Timber decks require robust hardware that accommodates natural expansion and contraction. Galvanised or stainless-steel screws, nails and brackets are ideal for securing timber boards while resisting rust and corrosion. Additionally, adjustable joist hangers and sturdy bolts help reinforce the deck’s foundation. Sunstate Timbers supplies premium-quality decking hardware tailored for timber installations, ensuring a solid and reliable structure.
