href=\"https:\/\/neotimber.com\/decking\/why-neotimber\/composite-decking-vs-wood\/\">comparing a timber option with composite<\/a>, it would be unrealistic to only calculate your pricing based on the

This is because of the additional costs incurred through regular purchasing of stain or decking paint. Let\u2019s imagine you require 2.5 litres of decking paint per application, let\u2019s also imagine that timber decking will last for a maximum of 15 years. At approximately \u00a327 a tin, that\u2019s \u00a3405 worth of paint. It\u2019s already more expensive than you imagined. However, if we could tell you that you\u2019ll never have to get the kneeling stool out and strip, sand, paint or varnish your deck again, what would that be worth to you?
