AFA'S GUIDE


At AFA, we believe your outdoor space should be as inviting and functional as the inside of your home. Whether you're dreaming of a sun-soaked entertainment area, a peaceful garden retreat, or a durable platform for family gatherings, the right decking makes all the difference.



Choosing the Right Decking Material


Not all decks are created equal. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular options and what makes them shine:


Composite Decking

Made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, composite decking offers low maintenance, high durability, and a sleek, modern look. It resists fading, staining, and warping - perfect for New Zealand’s varied climate.


Hardwood Decking

For timeless beauty and natural strength, hardwoods like kwila, garapa, and vitex are top choices. They require regular oiling but reward you with rich tones and long-lasting performance.


Softwood Decking (e.g., Pine)

Treated pine is budget-friendly and widely available. It’s a great starter option, especially when properly sealed and maintained.


PVC Decking

100% synthetic and ultra-resistant to moisture, mold, and insects. Ideal for coastal properties or poolside installations.
