the art of ship burning

2.6k, smalletho / boat boys ficlet set in my pirate au (reading the original fic is not required to understand this)

If you asked Joel, ship-burning was more an artform than a science. The matters weren’t as simple as a few dry pieces of timber and a spark to light them. To Etho, those matters probably extended into levels of moisture and the direction of the wind. However the objectively correct and all-around better matters— Joel’s matters— lay entirely with one thing: presentation.

Swords clashed on the deck. Streaks of silver cut through the midnight black sky, rivaling that of the moonlight hidden behind a thick weave of clouds. The ocean roared beneath the hull, waves thrashing the side of the ship this way and that— a storm was coming. The electricity danced in the air, teasing and coy. Gods, what a lovely night for a ship to burn.

Joel threw himself at the starboard side of the military ship, climbing up onto the rusted deadeyes to reach the shrouds. His heart hammered in his chest as the song of gnashing blades and pained yells accompanied his great climb. His sweaty palms gripped tight onto the rope, but with one violent lurch of the ship to the right, Joel lost his grip. Terror swept through him, a coldness sinking in his gut like he’d swallowed a cannonball. Perhaps it was his heart.

His legs, tangled in the rungs of the shroud, caught his fall. He dangled upside down from the ropes, all the blood rushing to his head. The frantic beat of his heart pulsed in his temples. Below him the deck’s action continued to brew. In the center of it all: Etho. He fought wildly through a crowd of butter-spined men who, by uniform alone, could be considered naval officers. They came for him at all angles, but whereas the King’s men relied on brute force, Etho relied on something far stronger: strategy.

He weaved between jabbing elbows and sweeping swords, slipping through gaps in the onslaught of soldiers. One officer lunged with his blade aimed at Etho’s chest. He side-stepped it and grabbed the officer by the sword-wielding arm, pulling the both of them backwards until the officer’s blade pierced one of his own men in the shoulder. Without missing a beat, he disappeared from the space between them. They might’ve out-numbered him about a dozen to one, but to keep Etho locked down was like trying to bottle lightning up in a jar. You simply couldn’t, and you looked ridiculously stupid if you tried.

Joel’s vision grew spotty. He’d been dangling too long, his head overfilled with blood and his legs tingling and numb. He heaved himself upright, gripping the shroud and hauling himself the rest of the way upright. Heat rushed down his spine, through his limbs, as the blood returned to its rightful place. He waited for the spots in his vision to clear before continuing his climb up the shrouds.

Usually, Joel liked to let things simmer for a bit before bringing them to a boil. It was nice to savor their targets’ panic, to watch them scurry across the decks like headless chickens as the water filled up to their ankles and they hauled away every valuable thing they had to their name. But there were more of these peacocks than either of them had anticipated; Etho was good, but he was only so good. If Joel didn’t speed things up he wasn’t sure he’d still have a partner to split his earnings with at the end of the day. Good for his wallet, but bad for the ship. Upkeep and raids were much easier when you had someone to split it up with.

So, Joel reached the top of the shrouds, swaying back and forth with the rock of the sea and wind alike. He dug around in his pockets for his flint-and-steel. It was powerful enough to take down the thickest of sails. Tongue stuck between his teeth, Joel leaned out as far as his arms could stretch, sparking the flint-and-steel inches beneath the fabric of one of two large, layered sails. It caught instantly, orange and gold flecks turning into small yet promising flames. A flash of heat kissed Joel’s face; he grinned madly.

If they thought those ridiculously oversized crimson sails stood out, stark and proud, then they weren’t ready for the show in store.

The flames consumed the sail stitch by stitch, fiber by fiber. Joel climbed down the shrouds to keep himself out of the fire’s reach but kept close enough to feel the heat of it. He should’ve quickly moved on to the other sail, to the ratline, to the sacs of flour and fruit on deck— anything to get the flames to catch quicker and get him and Etho both out of there. But don’t blame him for wanting to admire his own handiwork. They didn’t get to do this often, especially not against a military ship. This was a special treat. Etho would be fine for an extra second. Or ten.

The skin of his hands buzzed. The ropes under him shook, a rattle carried down the entire length of the shrouds up towards the nest. At the base, a broad-chested soldier climbed the dead-eyes and climbed after Joel. He was only a few feet away, a sword in his hand.

“You’ve got to be bloody kidding,” Joel groaned.

The flames quickly ate a hole in the center of the front-most sail. The further they traveled, the closer they got to the central mast. They’d start eating away at it any second now. Once the mast gave out, there would be nowhere else to go. Joel needed to get off of the shrouds, preferably before that happened and he got crushed in a mess of wood and embers.

If he got lucky, the Gods would quit toying with him and let the storm break. If lightning struck, it’d either knock this guy off and give Joel some breathing room, or it would strike the ship and fan the flames that much faster. The latter ensured almost certain death, but Joel couldn’t exactly afford to be picky. He’d rather die at the hands of some spiteful god than a military peacock who wore wigs at dinner parties for fun.

But said peacock had him cornered. There was nowhere for Joel to climb except for up, closer to the flames where the fire would burn him and the smoke would suffocate him. He had not one weapon on him aside from the fire-starter, and Joel wasn’t so stupid as to burn his literal life-line while he was still on it, suspended forty feet in the air above solid wood and thrashing blades. That was probably second on his list of least preferred ways to die.

The soldier growled and reached for Joel’s ankles. He kicked like mad, hoping he could at least crunch a bone or two under the force of his steel-heeled boots. But the soldier was tougher than he looked. He took each kick without so much as a wince, and in a second he grabbed Joel’s ankle with one hand. He balanced precariously on the shroud, one hand dragging Joel down and the other raising his sword.

“Shit!” Joel threw an arm up to shield his face from the worst bite of the blade.

But it never came. Instead, a much sweeter sound: the soldier’s cry of pain as a bolt whizzed through the air and buried in his neck. Blood sputtered from around the arrowhead; he immediately lost his grip on Joel and the shroud alike, rolling over. With him, the shroud twisted, but this time Joel was ready.

He hung on tight as it flipped over like a tangled hammock, dumping the soldier’s body unceremoniously onto the now still deck beneath. Several bodies were either dead or unconscious, stacked unceremoniously in piles where they’d fallen. The rest were either tied at the wrists and ankles or cowering with their foreheads pressed into the wood like they really thought any sort of god was helping them.

Beneath him, Etho held a crossbow still aimed at the sky. His cheek bled sluggishly.

“You sure took your sweet time up there, Joel!” he jeered, breathing heavy. “Should I grab you a pillow? Rub your feet?”

“Shut up, Etho!” Joel yelled from where he dangled overhead. “The bloody thing’s already lit, we just need to— woah, woah, watch out!”

It was close. Etho spun right as a cutlass swept through the air over his head. But not close enough. Not fast enough— a blade caught Etho in the shoulder. His pained sound was quiet, but to Joel it might as well have sounded like cannonfire. Etho staggered as the general who had snuck up on him reached for the back of Etho’s collar, hauling him back.

The cannonball he’d swallowed turned into hot, active steel. Shot directly out of a cannon, Joel slid down and leapt from the shrouds when he was confident he was low enough not to break both his ankles.

“Nope, no you don't!” His pulse pounded furiously in his ears as he snatched a sword from one of the bodies at his feet. All it took was a single lunge. A dangerous, incredibly stupid and risky lunge. But a successful one nonetheless. Even with Etho held up between them like a human shield, Joel slipped the tip of the sword in the gap under Etho’s armpit, burying the sword in the general’s gut.

He fell into a heap of limbs on the deck, blood bubbling up between his fingers where he clutched at the wound in the center of his stomach. Joel sneered and kicked him as far away from Etho as he could manage. Which wasn’t very far, he was a lot bigger than Joel, but it was about the principle of the thing.

Furious, sweaty, and buzzing with fear, Joel whirled on Etho. “You bloody idiot, what were you thinking, turning your back?! Let me see—”

Etho swatted his hand away. With the other hand he clutched at the wound. “Next time I’ll let someone poke you full of holes, then,” he said, voice strained.

It bled from the junction where his neck met his shoulder. Blood slicked his hands and dripped down the front of his white shirt, but he wasn’t bleeding as much as the guy he’d shot did. It was bleeding, but it wasn’t oh my gods I’m going to die bleeding. Which was a comfort to Joel, no matter how little. He’d be hurt and whiny, but he wasn’t going to die. He could deal with that.

Joel tilted his head back to admire his handiwork. The red sails blazed a brilliant gold and orange. Embers and ash rained from the sky, a storm of their own making. They didn’t need any gods. The ship went up like a torch, more beautiful than any damn lighthouse or painted sail on the seven seas. It was a mark to be made permanently in the way of ash. It won’t be faded by time or bleached by the sun. Joel’s grin grew wickedly sharp.

He put a hand on Etho’s back. “Let’s get the goods and get the bloody hell out of here.”

***

“Ow! Joel, careful!”

“How can I be careful if you aren’t holding blummin’ still?” Joel snapped, grabbing the back of Etho’s neck forcefully. He sat on a stool behind Etho, armed with a rag doused in drinking alcohol. He examined the wound that bit the worst into the back of his shoulder. It wasn’t as deep as Joel initially feared. The wound’s edges were puffy and oozy (everything Joel detested), but the worst of the bleeding finally stopped. Not that that spared Joel’s sleeves any; he looked forward to burning his shirt as soon as Etho was bandaged and put to bed.

He kept one hand on the back of Etho’s neck while the other dabbed at the edges of the wound. Etho shivered with each touch, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end every time so much as Joel shifted his hold. Cold air wafted through the ship's calm hull, the steady rise and fall of the sea like a lullaby. A gift for their hard work today (as if the gold and diamonds hadn’t been enough).

“It stings,” Etho complained.

Joel sighed. “You’re the one who told me to do this part.”

He shifted uncomfortably. “Sure, but it still hurts.”

He was a great partner to fare the seas with, but by the gods, Etho could be bloody annoying when he wanted to be. How could a man who was capable of cutting down an entire naval crew be capable of complaining so much? Little about him made sense, and while Joel gave up long ago trying to piece him together, it didn’t stop the puzzle from grating on his nerves often.

With a groan, Joel draped the rag over his thigh, feet tapping a restless, agitated beat on the floorboards. “Alright, it’s clean or whatever,” he said, then hesitated. “… You don’t need stitches, do you? I am not poking a bloody needle through your skin.”

“If I don’t want it to scar, probably,” Etho said, and Joel understood what he meant.

Etho was no stranger to scars. It wasn’t the first time Joel had seen him without a shirt, but it was the first time seeing things this close— close enough to touch. His back was littered with them. Thin cross-hatching lines covered the expanse of his back, some silvery and pale with their age, from a time before Joel, others still red and fresh. As fresh as scars come, at least. A gash on the right flank, a spearhead Etho caught with his body during a rowdy raid on a clan of fishermen. A long, straight cut down the length of his spine. A burn scar to his left shoulder. That one was Joel’s fault — don’t ask.

What was one more to the collection? Besides, Joel wasn’t going to complain about not having to sew Etho’s skin shut. Instead he, without complaint, reached for a roll of bandages he had set out on the table. He called it a roll of bandages, but really it was one of the finer shirts they’d stolen among one of the officer’s luggage cut up into long, thin strips. He was proud of himself for the innovation, even if Etho had pursed his lips at the side of it. Beggars couldn’t be choosers. Etho would have to just get over it.

As he wound the makeshift bandages around Etho’s shoulder and under his armpit, Joel held his breath. Etho didn’t say anything, only lightly wincing when Joel lifted his arm too quickly, which happened every time he needed to reach under the wrap the bandages around. But he endured it without much more complaint. Suddenly, Joel wished he would. Just so he didn’t have to be the one to start talking.

“That was bloody stupid what you did,” he said. “I’ll kill you if you die pulling something like that again.”

“No promises,” Etho said, and by gods Joel could hear the mischievous smirk in his voice. “Someone’s gotta watch your back, Joel.”

Joel scoffed and tucked the edge of the bandage into itself, patting them down. This time Etho groaned and recoiled from his touch, protecting his shoulder with his hands as best he could. “Now you’re just being mean.”

“I’ll stop being mean when you stop being useless and annoying,” Joel said, quickly climbing to his feet and rummaging around in the armoire (another fixture they’d stolen on a previous raid, a rare and expensive mahogany piece that both Joel and Etho found incredibly ugly but both refusing to be the first to admit it). He pulled out a shirt, wadded it up, and tossed it against Etho’s bare chest.

“Cover up before I throw up,” he said. “More ships to burn, more stuff to steal. Up and at ‘em.”

EXTENDED CLIENT BRIEF RESEARCH + CURRENT NORTHSHORE CREATIVE ACTIVATIONS

Since watching the virtual tour, my next step before delving back into the brief/challenges to brainstorm ideas was to do a little more extended research on the client, Economic Development Queensland (EDQ), and analysing their current vision, values, and marketing strategy for the Northshore precinct. Through reviewing the client brief and researching EDQ it is clear that the primary purpose of the Northshore precinct is to create experiences, both professional and personal, where it can serve as a main attraction for Brisbane, where visitors are inclined to revisit, even those who come internationally. The Northshore precinct lies within 6km from Brisbane city and is distinctively known for its current festive events that have annually paved the way in curating events that consist of entertainment, food, art, music, leisure and much more.

According to EDQ's vision, as part of a 40 year urban renewal plan, there is a heavy focus on the area being "proudly grounded in an Indigenous, industrial, and nautical heritage" where innovation, creativity and culture merge. There is evidently a major push towards a sustainable future especially with regards to the transformation of the waterfront, with 12 billion dollars already invested into what is now Queensland's largest waterfront development. This is also sure to improve connectivity and accessibility for visitors as these attributes currently come with constraints.

With this in mind, I also wanted to curate a short list of existing 'creative activations' that have occurred within the past year or is currently there around and in the Northshore precinct that I have personally visited or just liked. I wanted to do so to also gain a better understanding of the space and brainstorm ideas that would not conflict or copy but rather complement these existing projects.

Eat Street - the current 'nucleus' of the Northshore precinct. It's a space of vibrant art installations and neon lights that has refurbished shipping containers used as food vendors and a centre stage for amplified live music.

Flipside Circus - Circus academy conducting classes from the site. Also a space for many performances.

The Northshore Shed - An artistic multi-purpose hall space that is available for hire.

The Northshore Deck - A space designated for rest between recreational activities, it features reclaimed timbers from the wharves and provides amenities and information services for the general public.

The Northshore Lawn & Tennis Park - This space is situated right by 'The Deck' and as the moniker suggests, is a grand grassy space perfect for hosting family-oriented events and a bit of sporty fun.

Northshore Sculpture by the River 2023/24 - A spread out exhibition that celebrates local artists by displaying some of Queensland's best sculptors' work at the Northshore Maritime Green for visitors to wander through and explore more about (same area I will likely focus my installation in).

Understanding Termites and Their Behavior

Termites are one of the most destructive pests that can invade your home. These tiny insects may seem harmless, but they can cause significant damage to the structure of your house, leading to costly repairs. Termite infestations are especially common in areas with high humidity, such as Kolkata. If left unchecked, a termite infestation can compromise the integrity of your home, making it essential to take preventive measures. In this article, we will discuss effective strategies to prevent termite infestations in your home and why choosing a reliable pest control service, such as Joy Lokenath Pest Control service, is crucial.

Understanding Termites and Their Behavior

Before diving into prevention methods, it’s important to understand what termites are and how they operate. Termites are social insects that live in colonies, often numbering in the thousands. They feed on cellulose, a component found in wood and other plant materials. The most common types of termites are subterranean, drywood, and dampwood termites.

Subterranean Termites: These termites build their nests underground and require moisture to survive. They create mud tubes to reach food sources and are responsible for the majority of termite damage in homes.

Drywood Termites: Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites do not require contact with soil and can live in dry wood, such as furniture and structural timbers.

Dampwood Termites: These termites prefer wood that is moist or decaying and are less likely to infest dry structures.

Understanding these types of termites can help in identifying potential risks and implementing the right preventive measures.

Why Prevention Is Key

Preventing a termite infestation is far more cost-effective than dealing with the aftermath. Once termites have invaded your home, they can cause extensive damage that may not be immediately visible. Regular inspections and preventive treatments can save you from the stress and expense of repairs. Here are some practical steps Joy Lokenath Pest Control  can take to prevent termite infestations in your home.

1. Eliminate Moisture Sources

Termites thrive in moist environments, so controlling moisture levels in and around your home is critical. Start by fixing any leaks in your plumbing, roof, or walls. Ensure that your gutters are clean and functioning properly to direct water away from your home’s foundation. If you have a basement or crawl space, consider installing a dehumidifier to reduce humidity levels. By keeping your home dry, you reduce the likelihood of attracting termites.

2. Seal Cracks and Gaps

Termites can enter your home through even the smallest cracks and gaps. Inspect the exterior of your home for any openings, particularly around windows, doors, and the foundation. Use caulk or other appropriate sealants to close these gaps. Additionally, make sure that any vents or openings are properly screened to prevent termites from gaining access.

3. Remove Wood-to-Ground Contact

Termites often access homes by travelling through wood that is in direct contact with the soil. To prevent this, avoid placing wooden structures, such as decks, fences, or steps, directly on the ground. Instead, use concrete or metal barriers to separate the wood from the soil. If you store firewood, keep it elevated and at least 20 feet away from your home. These precautions can by Joy Lokenath Pest Control service Kolkata help reduce the risk of a termite infestation.

4. Termite-Resistant Materials

When building or renovating your home, consider using termite-resistant materials. Certain types of wood, such as cedar and redwood, are less attractive to termites. Additionally, incorporating metal, concrete, or treated wood in your construction can create a barrier that is difficult for termites to penetrate. Consult with Joy Lokenath Pest Control service to learn more about the best materials for your specific needs.

5. Regular Inspections and Monitoring

One of the most effective ways to prevent termite infestations is through regular inspections. Hire a professional pest control service in Kolkata, such as Joy Lokenath Pest Control service, to conduct thorough inspections of your home at least once a year. These experts can identify early signs of a termite infestation and provide recommendations for preventive measures.

In addition to professional inspections, consider installing termite monitoring stations around your property. These stations can detect termite activity before it becomes a full-blown infestation. Early detection is key to preventing significant damage to your home.

6. Maintain Your Landscaping

Your landscaping can either help or hinder your efforts to prevent termite infestations. Keep shrubs, trees, and other vegetation well-trimmed and away from your home’s foundation. Avoid using mulch near the foundation, as it retains moisture and provides an ideal environment for termites. If you must use mulch, opt for materials like gravel or rubber that are less attractive to termites.

Additionally, ensure that any tree stumps or dead wood are removed from your yard. These can serve as a food source for termites and increase the risk of an infestation.

7. Preventive Treatments

Preventive treatments are an excellent way to protect your home from termites. A professional pest control service in Kolkata can apply liquid termiticides or bait systems around your property to create a barrier that repels termites. These treatments can be effective for several years and provide peace of mind that your home is protected.

If you are concerned about the cost, consider the long-term savings. Investing in preventive treatments now can save you from the expense of repairs and the headache of dealing with a termite infestation later.

8. Educate Yourself on Termite Signs

Even with the best preventive measures in place, it’s important to remain vigilant for signs of a termite infestation. Early detection can make all the difference in preventing extensive damage. Some common signs of a termite infestation include:

Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites create mud tubes to travel between their nest and food sources. These tubes are typically found on exterior walls, foundations, or in crawl spaces.

Discarded Wings: Termites shed their wings after swarming, and finding piles of wings near windows, doors, or other entry points can indicate an infestation.

Hollow Wood: Termites eat wood from the inside out, so if you tap on wooden structures and hear a hollow sound, it could be a sign of termite damage.

Frass: Drywood termites produce wood-coloured droppings known as frass. If you find small piles of frass near wooden structures, it’s a sign of an infestation.

If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional pest control service in Kolkata immediately.

Choose a Reliable Pest Control Service

Preventing and managing termite infestations requires expertise and experience. That’s why it’s essential to choose a reliable pest control service, like Joy Lokenath Pest Control service. They offer comprehensive termite control solutions tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need a one-time treatment or ongoing maintenance, Joy Lokenath Pest Control service provides the best options to protect your home from termites.

Moreover, buying pest control services from a trusted provider ensures that you receive quality care and effective results. Don’t wait until it’s too late—take proactive steps to safeguard your home today.

Step 1: Client Research and Current Features

Journal Entry 2

The next step I took was engaging in further research regarding the client, Economic Development Queensland and identifying the key marketing strategy currently in place for the Northshore precinct. EDQ’s vision for the precinct is for Northshore to be known as ‘Brisbane’s Immersive Riverfront’ and a place that challenges normal convention, offering a sustainable sub-tropical lifestyle precinct for everyone to enjoy.

Northshore is a distinct waterfront precinct within Brisbane City. As a part of Economic Development Queensland (EDQ)’s 40 year urban renewal plan, a number of businesses, experiences and residential areas have been developed on the site to date. Aspects of Northshore’s rich history can be seen throughout the precinct and within the project sites. I decided to make a list of what Northshore currently features to identify what is missing from the sites and to further inspire project development ideas for the ‘Maritime Green’ and ‘The Workshops’ sites. At this stage, I am still unsure whether to respond to Challenge 1 or 2, so I want to have a general understanding of both sites before deciding on this. It is vital to gain an understanding of the businesses and current tenants at Northshore, as well as general features of the sites so that I can create an activation that is complementary to both the current tenants and is aligned with EDQ’s vision for Northshore.

The Northshore Riverfront Activation Precinct currently features:

‘Riverfront Event Space’- A commercial space available to hire for large events. Previously has hosted music festivals, Circus de Soleil, etc.

‘Flipside Circus’- Brisbane Circus Academy which runs circus classes and performances from the space.

‘Maritime Green’- A green space close to the Riverside which has previously hosted events such as the Brisbane Festival, boutique music performances and sporting events (3x3 basketball). Markets will soon be held in this space.

‘Eat Street’- a vibrant dining precinct within Northshore that utilises repurposed shipping containers for the food vendors. ‘Eat Street’ is the current hub of Northshore, and we have been encouraged to connect our project ideas back to the aesthetics and visual language of this area. It is weekend night-time focused.

‘The Workshops’- Community based clubs and businesses including the ‘Northshore Men’s Shed’, ‘Team Arrow’, ‘Hackers Space Brisbane’ and a music school. These are located within warehouses and repurposed shipping containers near the Maritime Green site.

‘The Shed’- An indoor and outdoor multipurpose venue and space available for hire. It is also Northshore’s current town hall space.

‘The Deck’- an addition to the recreational area which provides shade and amenities to visitors, as well as featuring an information screen. It features reclaimed timbers from the Wharves.

‘The Lawn’- Situated behind ‘The Deck’, this space is hired out for family focused events.

‘Tennis Court’- A key part of Northshore activation, drawing residents to the precinct to play sport.

‘Harbour Café (The River Room)- Café space available for hire for wedding and corporate events. Brisbane City Council have installed a recreational hub mooring facility at the front for people to drop in for a coffee or run river tours from.

Transport:

Riverwalk and CityCat terminals connecting to Northshore. Bus routes running to Northshore only during Eat Street opening hours.

Wood decking is a multifaceted procedure involving the application of a layer of quality materials to the exteriors of a building or structure in order to provide protection and thermal insulation from harsh climatic conditions.

Wooden decking is widely used in the residential sector for new structure construction, maintenance, and renovation purposes, such as paths, swimming pool decks, flooring, cladding and siding, and so on. With the rising living standards, people all over the world are preferring hardwood or timber decking, which can be used in numerous ways as part of garden landscaping to increase a house’s living area as well as an alternative to stone-based features like patios. Thus, the intensification of renovation activities is anticipated to supplement the growth of the wooden decking market in the forecast period.

However, the growing usage of alternative wood decking materials can negatively impact the development of the global market. This is due to the high cost of acquiring and maintaining wooden decks compared to alternative composite decking materials, such as metal decking, PVC, and polystyrene plastics.

Globally, the Asia-Pacific is expected to become the fastest-growing region in the wooden decking market. The region’s robust growth can be attributed to the increase in IT towers, logistics centers, multifunctional towers, and universities. Furthermore, rising family income levels and an increasing number of people moving from rural to urban areas are increasing the demand for residential housing in the region. Also, the number of affordable housing projects in the region is growing as several governments offer tax breaks to encourage investment in the region. These factors are likely to help the wooden decking market grow.

Leading companies in the wooden decking market include Trex Company Inc, Fiberon, Humboldt Sawmill Company LLC, Setra Group AB, Thermory AS, UFP Industries Inc, Metsä Group, DuraLife Decking & Railing Systems, Inovar Floor, Weyerhaeuser Company, Deck Solutions LLC, UPM-Kymmene Oyj, Azek Company Inc, West Fraser Timber Co Ltd, Kebony, Mendocino Forest Products Company LLC, Vetedy Group, NeoTimber, and Tecnodeck (Mittera Group).

The wooden decking market is fragmented owing to the considerable presence of domestic and international players, particularly in North America and Europe. However, decking activities employ various types of wood types, including redwood, cedar, and tropical wood. These items are not widely available globally on a commercial scale, which limits the growth of new entrants. Thus, it can be said that the threat of new entrants is low.
