long story short baught 28mm by 145mm decking boards. didn't order enough to finish so had to wait till the timber yard got more in. was told it be into the end of July before the 28mm would be back in stock but i could get 32mm much earlier. the thickness isn't a problem because im putting a fascia to cover the cut ends.
the 32mm turns up today and it is totally green. i emailed the yard to be told that it is the pressure treatment and it will fade to the nice pine colour and also the tread pattern is thicker.
sent the same picture to a mate who worked in a sawmill. instantly he said the yard has got the wood from a different supplier and that wont fade to the honey colour of pine it will go silver.
so i will tell the yard to uplift this 32mm. but my fear is i wait for the 28mm and that comes from a different saw mill again. so im stuck with decking that is missing a section because i didn't order enough in the first place.
The wife is loving it btw
