If it gets marked or damaged, then the scratch can be softened and blended back into the deck using either Danish or Tung Oil. Please see our                                                    for more details.

It is not recommended to use Forestar product in structural applications although it can be used, it’s a job best left to a structural engineer to design any load bearing structures.

Forestar product applies advanced material design that prevent against cracking, rotting, peeling, insects damaging etc. With proper and recommended care, it will provide rather long years of good performance. You can refer to for details.

Forestar product should be fastened by using approved and standard fixing systems. Normally, stainless steel fixings are high recommended.

Forestar product can adapt to various weather conditions. It will shrink in hot and expand in cold when installed. We recommend to put boards in the working spot 48 hrs before installation so as to make it’s adaptation to the weather.

The most affordable option (applicable to free draining, relatively dry conditions only) is to use treated softwood. Although softwood substructure will become slimy/moldy easily over time, this is normally acceptable as it is not seen. We can also provide a composite substructure profile which is useful in wet conditions or areas with low air circulation. In particularly damp conditions where the deck is over 1 meter off the ground, we recommend the use of galvanized steel box section beams / hard wood structure or other stronger structure.
