“Of all the materials we have looked at it has proved to be the best all round solution. It is ideal in terms of its durability, the non-slip surfaces have been commented on by berth holders as being excellent... it’s going to be easy to maintain as it only takes an occasional washdown. However, we are finding that ducks do not seem to like the gritted surface. Their webbed feet do not sit comfortably on the decking, so the traditional problem of droppings clogging up the timber doesn’t happen on the Marina Deck grating surface...We are delighted with Marina Deck and it seems to be the perfect solution”.
