Hard or soft
Some people may find that hardwood is just to much trouble or to difficult to work with. In the short term a treated softwood may be easier to work but hardwood can be just as easy with a couple of tips.

• Measure twice and then ask a Start Smart team member to check the plans.
• Choose the right tools for the job. Use a wood drill bit and go with quality tools so they last the distance.
• Let Magnet Mart cut the lengths to size when possible to get clean, Pro results every time.
• When fastening the ridges go face down. They are not for grip, they are to allow air flow between joints to stop decay and warping.
• Pre-drill when fastening hardwood and you will avoid splitting timber or burning out the drill and drill bit.
• Stainless decking screws are look fantastic and complete the job nicely.
• Maintain your investment. A little sanding and oil once or twice a year will keep you new area looking fantastic for years

Adding a feature that uses Merbau can add outdoor areas that add value to your home and give you a private space or entertaining area. So don't compromise, get rich colour and sleek lines by using quality Merbau from the Start Smart people.
