Which Decking Is Most Flammable?

CSEF · 2005 Materials Science (Junior Division Only)

Dylan Z. Knudsen · Julian Junior High School, Julian

Overview

Objectives/Goals I am trying to find out which decking is most flamable. Methods/Materials I made a jig to hold the materials, Trex, Geo-Deck, Brazilian Harwod, and Redwood, at a constant distance frome the flame. Results My results were that Geo-deck decking took the longest to ignite, when Redwood was the fastest. Conclusions/Discussion My conclution is that, if you were to build a deck the best choice wood be Geo-deck decking, and the worse would be Redwood.

Summary statement

I am trying to find out which decking is most flamable.

Help received
