• What is WPC Decking?
WPC stands for Wood Plastic Composite.
It is a type of material made from a combination of wood fibers or sawdust and plastic.
The resulting material is durable, resistant to moisture, and requires minimal maintenance.
WPC decking, in particular, refers to outdoor decking made from WPC material,
which is often used as an alternative to traditional wood decking due to its superior durability and weather resistance.

•Packing & Delivery
Here are the general steps for installing Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) decking:
1.Prepare the site: Clear the site of any vegetation or debris. Ensure that the site is level and free of any bumps or uneven areas. Install a weed barrier if necessary.
2.Prepare the substructure: Install a treated lumber frame for the WPC decking to sit on. The frame should be level and spaced no more than 16 inches apart. Attach the frame to the supporting structure using screws or bolts.
3.Install the starter board: Install the starter board along the edge of the deck, ensuring that it is square and level. Use stainless steel screws or clips to attach the board to the frame.
4.Install the WPC decking boards: Install the WPC decking boards, starting from the outer edge and working your way towards the center of the deck. Use clips or screws to attach the boards to the frame, ensuring that they are spaced evenly.
5.Cut and trim the boards: Cut the boards to size using a saw, ensuring that they fit snugly against walls or other obstacles. Use a router or sandpaper to smooth any rough edges.
6.Install the railing: Install the railing posts and balusters according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the railing is level and secure.
7.Finish the deck: Apply a coat of sealant or stain to protect the deck from moisture and UV rays. Allow the deck to dry completely before use.
Note: These steps are general guidelines only. Always refer to the instructions for specific installation requirements for your WPC decking types.
