Another popular hardwood decking choice is Vitex decking. This is a durable timber with a pale yellowish to creamy-grey appearance. Some of the benefits of Vitex as a decking timber are:

• Fine, slightly lustrous texture with even grain
• Leathery odour and nice to the touch – perfect for bare children’s feet!
• Sourced from low-impact, village-based operations in the Solomon Islands
• High resistance to shock loads
