All About Spotted Gum & Composite Decking In Melbourne

Spotted gum decking is made from a popular Australian hardwood that grows mostly on the east coast of the country, with the majority of it extracted in New South Wales and Queensland.

Despite the fact that the spotted gum tree's bark is light in colour, ranging from white to grey, the decking manufactured from spotted gum heartwood is often reddish-brown to golden-brown in colour. Spotted gum decking will become grey with time. The wavy grain of spotted gum decking, which gives a distinctive "fiddleback" aesthetic, attracts many homeowners and builders.
