ROYAL REDS
Factory coat of clear oil
Our sustainably sourced hardwood decking — including reclaimed options — delivers a premium look for both residential and commercial projects. We do not stock, supply or support harvesting of tropical rainforest species such as Kwila, Garapa, or Purple Heart. A standout option to Kwila is our Royal Reds, a competitively priced mix of Red Mahogany and Turpentine — both Class 1 durability species rated to last 40+ years.
Most decking comes pre-coated with penetrating oil to aid acclimatisation and ensure optimal performance. It is absolutely imperative that you please read our installation guide before laying which can be downloaded below. Enquire at info@lmatimber.co.nz for pricing and details.

For New Zealand conditions, we recommend Class 1 Australian hardwoods such as Spotted Gum, Grey Ironbark, Grey Box, and Royal Reds, a mix of Red Mahogany and Turpentine.
These species are exceptionally durable, naturally resistant to decay, and well-suited to our climate. Unlike imported rainforest timbers such as Kwila, these hardwoods are sustainably sourced and chosen for long-term performance.
With proper installation and care, Class 1 hardwood decking can last over 40 years.
This makes it a true long-term investment compared to softer woods or composite alternatives.
All our boards are factory-coated in penetrating oil to assist acclimatisation and maximise lifespan.
We supply a range of profiles to suit different projects:
If you’d like to estimate the number of linear metres you’ll need for your project, try our Decking Calculator.
Reclaimed decking is milled from timber salvaged from projects such as bridges and wharves. Each board has a story, offering unique character while reducing waste.
Sustainably sourced decking comes from certified Australian forestry operations where long-term resource management is prioritised and comes with PEFC Certification. Both options give you confidence that you’re making an environmentally responsible choice.
It depends on the size and height of your deck. In most cases, decks that are more than 1.5 metres above ground level or have complex structural requirements will require building consent. For detailed advice, consult your local council or builder. Our Decking Calculator also provides helpful spacing and compliance guidance.
The easiest way is to use our Decking Calculator. Simply enter your deck’s dimensions and board profile, and it will calculate the total lineal metres required. The tool also allows for 10% wastage, helping you order with confidence.
We’re committed to sustainability. That’s why we do not supply rainforest timbers such as Kwila, Garapa or Purpleheart. These species are linked to deforestation and poor ecological practices. Instead, we focus on reclaimed and responsibly managed Australian hardwoods.
All LMA Timber decking boards are now factory-coated with penetrating oil. This helps the timber acclimatise and protects the surface during installation. For the ultimate result, we recommend ongoing maintenance coat’s as part of your deck care routine — see our Installation & Maintenance Guide for detailed instructions. However, if you would like to let your deck silver off over time you can.
Hardwood decking requires minimal upkeep compared to softer timbers. To maintain colour and performance, apply a UV inhibitor oil- stain yearly and keep the surface clean of debris. Regular inspections for fastener tightness and board spacing are also recommended. If you chose to let your timber silver off then simply wash it down once a year to keep it free from any mould / mildew build up if it occurs.
Yes. Our Class 1 hardwoods are naturally durable and perform well in coastal and poolside environments. When installed with correct spacing and ventilation, they resist swelling, salt exposure, and moisture better than most alternatives. It might be beneficial to order a sawn finish for the surface or apply a slip resistant treatment such as Intergrain’s Ultra Deck – Slip Resistant Oil.
We suggest allowing for 10% extra material to account for cuts, joins and natural board variation. Our Decking Calculator automatically adds this allowance to your estimate.
Skilled DIYers can certainly install hardwood decking, provided they follow best practice for spacing, fixing and ventilation. For larger or elevated decks, professional installation is recommended to meet building regulations and ensure structural integrity. Our Installation Guide is a good place to start.
