| Gap between boards | 3 mmSources disagree. Maker’s install guide says 5 (Plastic board clips (installation guide).); Maker’s datasheet says 5.5 (Moulded ABS fastener (ELITE specification sheet).).

Prices by state
Set your state once and every price on this site is quoted for it, including GST. Then this page shows the Sun Decking Ultimate prices in your state: each the average of the sellers we track there.
Price on request. No seller we track publishes a Sun Decking Ultimate price anywhere in Australia yet. That means no data, not that it isn’t sold.
It can still be quoted: draw your deck in the free designer and get your free deck pack. Local builders and suppliers quote from it.
Customer reviews
We publish every review that meets our review policy, positive or negative. Labels show when a reviewer was invited, got something for writing it, or works in the industry.

- Installation guideSun Decking installation guide page (image sheets: hidden clips, thermal expansion with examples, butt joints, joist layout, panel and framing options)
All 4 sources behind this page
- ULTIMATE composite decking page (ASA laminate, P3, 450 mm centres, four colours)
- Sun Decking home page (three composite lines, 15-year warranty claim, east-coast supply)
- Sun Decking installation guide page (image sheets: hidden clips, thermal expansion with examples, butt joints, joist layout, panel and framing options)
- Sun Decking ELITE composite decking specifications (PDF: composition, weight, density, slip, expansion, joist centres)
Facts are taken from the highest-ranked source (certificates and test reports, then install guides and datasheets, then warranties, then web pages); when sources disagree the specification says so, and safety facts take the conservative value. Every plan the designer draws from these figures is a concept plan, not for construction: the span tables behind its framing have been checked by a structural engineer, but a builder, building surveyor or certifier must check the plan before you build.
