Decking Frame

Great Deck Framing at an Affordable Cost

At Cladco, we believe every successful project starts with a strong foundation. The importance of good deck framing cannot be overstated—proper placement and installation of your decking boards depend heavily on how well the base is constructed. For this reason, using quality timber and composite materials is vital to ensure the stability and longevity of your decking.

All our timber framing is responsibly sourced and pressure treated to provide year-round water resistance and durability. We also offer heavy-duty composite structural joists made from recycled plastics, ideal for elevated decking areas.

Our deck framing products are suitable for installation on both solid concrete bases and grassed areas. For guidance on using our decking framing effectively, please consult our handy installation guides.

Whether you choose natural timber decking or hard-wearing composite decking, we provide the right products to ensure your deck’s foundations are strong and reliable. As with all our products, our deck framing materials can be easily sawn, planed, and drilled to help you shape your project exactly as required.

Decking Joists – Composite or Timber?

When planning your decking area, it’s important to use the right base to support your decking joists. Our composite decking joists are best suited for hard, concrete bases - such as our concrete decking block, to ensure your decking is secure and level. For installations on grass without a concrete base, our timber decking joists are the ideal choice. We recommend removing turf first to create as flat a surface as possible.

Our deck framing range offers the right products at competitive prices to get your decking project off to a great start. Whether you choose composite wood or timber, we provide quality materials designed to give you peace of mind. Alongside our timber framing, we also stock trims and fixings to complete your installation.
