Backyard living is part of our way of life in Australia. And given our busy lifestyles, minimal maintenance is a must. Fortunately, it’s easy to create an outdoor oasis vibe at home with composite materials.
With a little planning and the right products it’s easy to turn your outdoor space into one you never want to leave, so you can enjoy the great outdoors, and take full advantage of the beautiful Australian sunshine.
Start with a stunning, low maintenance deck
A lot of homeowners want a deck where they can enjoy entertaining and relaxing, but don’t want the endless sanding, staining or painting that goes with it. The solution is a composite timber product that once installed, has little to no maintenance. Composite timber won’t attract mould need painting / resealing, or for you to hammer in nails that protrude due to twisting. A product that has the beauty of wood, but won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter.
COEN Composite timber decking is very easy to install, making it a great DIY project. The COENCLIP hidden fixing system, is stainless steel to ensure the decking boards expand and contract as temperatures rise and fall and provide an even 4mm gap between boards. Plus, there are no unsightly plastic tabs between the boards. Download our installation and care guide for more information on installation – click here

Add colours and quality design
Complementing the architecture of your home with the right products in your outdoor space, will continue that oasis vibe. Bring colour and warmth through comfortable furniture, soft cushions and throws and don’t forget plenty of plants to brighten up the space.
To create the ultimate deck, a complimentary colour that is fade-resistant and handles our harsh Australian conditions will ensure your deck looks fantastic now and in the future. We’ll help you match the colours of your home with one of our range of 10 different colours, from our “Select” and “Genesis” range of hollow and solid decking boards – they’ll be the envy of your neighbours.
You can choose several textured finishes to suit your needs. Since composite wood is manufactured through an extrusion process, it also dimensionally consistent, has no wood knots, twisting or warping to battle with, so will look good for years to come. It also has a non-slip rating of R12 and is fire and termite resistant.
Another great advantage of COEN Composite products, they don’t leach and won’t “bleed” onto other surfaces, which could cost you time and money in repairs. All of which makes this product an easy decision for your projects.
Make it easy to clean
Choosing products that are easy to keep clean is essential to your low maintenance outdoor lifestyle. Choosing furniture that can be hosed off, waterproof fabrics and easy to clean surfaces, means you will spend more time relaxing and less time working in your outdoor oasis.
Composite decking couldn’t be easier to clean, every 6 to 12 months or as needed, using a high pressure spray to clean off excess dirt and grime. For stubborn stains, simply use hot soapy water. Leaving you more time enjoying your deck instead of maintaining it! Want to know more, see our cleaning guide, click here.

Of course, composite decking isn’t just good for your home; it’s also good for the environment. Not a single tree is cut down to produce COEN Timber Decking. It’s made from 90 percent recycled materials, including reclaimed wood waste and plastics.
Finally, any major home improvement is an investment, and you can buy composite decking with confidence. COEN products are backed by a 15-year limited warranty.
