Decking - What is Red Deal

yop · 2007-06-07 11:31:23

Guys, Someone suggested I used Red Deal for our deck but I am lost as to what this is and whether it is a hard wearing wood. Is it a glorified pine? Is there a pic of it on this site? http://www.gardendeckingfencing.ie/view_products.asp?id=239&sectid=72 Thanks

Red deal usually comes from the red pine tree (Pinus resinosa)

We have it in our house and it dents easy.

If I was planning on decking i'd pick a harder wood.
