Sorry for the fright....

Roach still has her very slippy varnished Honduras Mahogany decks and that way it will stay. Atleast when you go overboard your last vision is one of beauty!

It may look like timber to you but bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae hence it is a grass not a tree.

First thoughts were: Very slippery and if not: Very splintery. Either not to great for proper bare foot matelots

Havn´t seen that B&Q stuff, must look in Castorama.

Hi. Bamboo decking is now coming into UK. Builder Depot in London (www.builderdepot.co.uk) have started stocking it from this week. Its a rare product to get hold off and they are the only people in the UK who stock it at moment. I only know this because I supply them from China. http://www.stonetimber.co.uk/bamboo.htm
Hope this helps.

And how about a guardrail to go with the decking.
