Treated softwood deck boards
For use with Outdure QwickBuild framing
Timber or softwood deck boards may not be the most desirable or premium of deck surfaces, but there’s a reason that so many installations continue to opt for treated timber boards, and that is their cost. By far the most affordable way to surface a deck.
If installed correctly and maintained, treated softwood decking can last for around 10 years or so without having to be replaced – selecting a quality treated board and coating is essential for a long-lasting deck. Our UC3 treated boards are a premium quality, solid, double-sided board, grooved on one side and smooth on the reverse. Each board is pressure-treated for longer, giving them extra durability and greater resistance against rot. Made from responsibly sourced wood.
Outdure QwickBuild is designed to work with any surface, including treated softwood boards. Below goes into more detail on how you can use softwood boards on the revolutionary framing system.

For treated softwood boards
A610 Self-drilling Screw
The A620 36mm self-drilling torx screw has been designed for fixing softwood and hardwood timber boards with a thickness
of 18 – 24mm to Outdure QwickBuild joists during installation.
A620 Self-drilling Screw
The A620 45mm self-drilling torx screw has been designed for fixing softwood and hardwood timber boards with a thickness of 24 – 40mm to Outdure QuickBuild joists during installation.
A206 Double Joist Bracket
Designed to extend the overall width of a joist – suitable for applying breaker boards along length of joist or to support board ends (where starting a new board and no joist underneath to support).
A855 Polymer Batten
The A855 polymer batten has been engineered to fit securely into the QwickBuild joist channel providing a more durable (optional) interface for top-down fixing boards such as treated timber.
Fixing softwood boards
Option A
Screw direct to joist (recommended).
Fix boards to the flat face of the QwickBuild® joists by drilling either the A610 or A620 self-drilling screw through the top of the board into the supporting aluminium joist. Use two screws at each intersection with a joist – as shown below. Use A206 double bracket where needed.
Option B
Screw into A855 polymer batten
If requiring a solution where the timber board is not interacting with the aluminium joist (for reduced noise for instance), attach the A855 polymer batten to the channelled side of the supporting bearer with an A630 screw, and use as a joist (as shown in diagram below). This can only be used in ultra-low level deck installations. Batten can also be used in a more traditional bearer and joist frame system when applied atop a joist.
Innovation in every component
Build using a selection of core system components such as joists and brackets, which form the structure, along with fixings for your chosen surface(s). The range also includes supports, such as posts or pedestals, depending on the height of the deck and the substrate on which it will sit. Combined with all the components required for you to install your treated softwood deck boards on our aluminium QwickBuild deck frame system.
