Kicking off our series about the various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/decking\/fixings-and-accessories.html\">options for your decking<\/a> balustrades, this week we\u2019re looking at what\u2019s on offer when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/decking\/handrails-spindles-and-panels.html\">timber spindles<\/a> and panels.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Timber Spindle System<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-710 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-compressor-1.jpg\" alt=\"timber spindles\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-compressor-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-compressor-1-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The classic choice. Timber spindles are designed for strength and simplicity, and give your decking an enduring, timeless appeal. Sturdy and stylish, lots of our customers like the consistency that timber spindles bring to wooden decking. The great thing about timber spindles is also that there\u2019s quite a lot of sub-types available, depending on what sort of look you want for your decking. The turned decking spindle brings with it a period, traditional feel, while our square decking newel post \u2013 with its straight lines and flat surfaces \u2013 looks more minimalist and modern.<\/p>\n<p>Our timber spindles are amongst our most cost-effective options too \u2013 handy if you\u2019re building your decking balustrade on a budget!<\/p>\n<h3>Timber Panels<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-711 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-compressor-3.jpg\" alt=\"chevron panels\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-compressor-3.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-compressor-3-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These cool timber panels are great for adding a bit of character to your decking balustrade, with their two distinct designs. The Chevron Timber Decking Panel\u2019s neat, straight lines give a fantastic modern finishing touch to your decking area. Meanwhile whereas our bestselling Sunrise Timber Decking Panel is constructed to look like the dawning of a brand new day, giving a cheerful, uplifting feel to your decking.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that make our Timber Panels so popular is the privacy aspect. Unlike spindles, there\u2019s less space for potentially prying eyes to peer through, which is especially valued if your decking is in a semi-public area, or visible from a public highway like a nearby footpath.<\/p>\n<h3>A Few Notes About Our Timber Balustrade Options<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-712 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-.jpg\" alt=\"rope\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade-.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Why-Choose-Timber-Spindles-Or-Panels-For-Your-Decking-Balustrade--300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Though normal wood isn\u2019t as durable or weatherproof as other materials, we don\u2019t use regular timber for our spindles and panels. The wood we use is pressure treated with Tanalith E; a preservative that extends the operative lifespan of our balustrade options. (This means that even if you\u2019re buying the budget versions, it still doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll find yourself having to frequently replace them.) Our spindles and panels alike \u2013 have a 15-year anti-rot guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>All our timber panels are also responsibly sourced, which means that they don\u2019t come from trees that are chopped down with no regards to the environment at large. Instead, our wood is sourced from controlled environments that are overseen and regulated by sustainability experts, preventing long-term environmental damage by deforestation. Responsible, practical and ethical \u2013 that\u2019s just how we do things here at Savoy Timber.<\/p>\n<p>This is just a sample of what\u2019s on offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/decking.html\">with our decking<\/a> balustrade options \u2013 we also have metal spindles, glass panels and decorative rope.
