No. Please do not use any glue to fasten or seal between Forestar boards. This application will damage the performance of plank, such as its drainage system and natural expansion.

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.

Of course. Forestar product does not absorb water, which makes it an ideal solution for area near water. Also, it can be used in marine environments since salt has no effect on it. Additionally, burring-free is a big plus for Forestar product, which can protect your bare foot.

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.

Of course. Standard length in the market are: 2.2M ( to fit the width of container), 3.66M (12’), 4.88M(16’), 5.9M (to fit the length of container).   Other length are also available but extra cost will be charged. 

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.
