Vulcan Decking
With timber sourced from rapidly renewable New Zealand plantation forests, Abodo Vulcan Decking is a sustainable and natural choice.
For ultimate durability, the timber undergoes Abodo’s thermal modification process and is pressure treated with a low VOC organic preservative (OPX) that includes a water repellent and insecticide for termite zones. With a reeded face that provides enhanced weathering characteristics and grip under foot, this product is built to last.
The thermal modification process means Abodo Vulcan Decking has reduced resin content, resulting in enhanced stability through all weathers. The natural timber provides a beautiful, homogeneous brown tone that silvers off, suits a wide range of architectural styles.
Unlike most hardwoods, Vulcan Decking does not require pre-drilling. It’s easy to work with, cut and fix, making it a favoured material among professional and DIY builders alike.
Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Certified

Timber Details
Natural Stability
Vulcan Decking is thermally modified, which means the timber has great stability even in harsh conditions.
Easy Fix
Unlike hardwoods, in most situations Abodo products do not require pre-drilling. That means you can install faster.
Carbon Storage
Each square metre of Abodo’s Vulcan solid timber is proven to store 7.56kg+ of carbon, more than twice the carbon emitted during the manufacturing process. This means carbon is essentially locked in the wood during its useful life.

FAQ
Abodo kiln dried decking timber requires allowance for expansion when it gets wet, therefore a larger than normal gap needs to be left between boards- minimum 6mm in most cases.
We recommend fixing the boards with two stainless steel screws per joist in all cases such as the Abodo Decking Screw. Abodo decking is nice and easy to fix into – pre drilling is not required in most cases.
Joist centres should be at maximum 450mm in most cases. We recommended coating the wood all sides with oil and – regularly as required thereafter. Refer to product technical data sheet on the resources page for more specific info.
At a minimum, Abodo Wood products should be cleaned at least every 12 months with soapy water, a brush and water.
These are natural wood products, so some surface discoloration or mould and mildew may occur due to environmental conditions and exposure.
Heavier discoloration or mould growth can be removed with Rejuvenator or other similar oxygenating cleaner.
If coated, then the coating should be re-applied once it begins to fade or stop water beading, depending on the aspect to the weather re-coat cycle may be 12-18 months.
This depends on if you install the profiled face up or smooth face up.
The profiled face will provide greater slip resistance perpendicular to the deck board edges, however will not be any different in the parallel direction. The smooth face with not provide a great deal of slip resistance, though it will be easier to clean in service, therefore it will be easier to prevent build-up of slippery dirt and mould.
Bear in mind that decking is graded to one face e.g. Abodo Sand is suitable for a smooth face install and Abodo Vulcan is reeded face up installation.
