curved decking facia

siddaway · 30 Apr 2008

Hi

does anyone have any recommendations for bending a facia board to provide a finish to the decking I have built (picture in my album)

the decking is raised about 200 mm from the path which curves round it and the decking is cut to match its curve, I now need to attached a facia type board out of same or similar wood to hide the joists etc but would like it to follow the curve for a good finish

any suggestion much appreciated !

very difficult with decking boards to get a curve on them. We normally build the frame to an octagonal shape and place a fascia on each side of the octagon, then oversail the actuial boards over the edge and cut them to the curve.

hi

thanks for the reply would it not be possible to use a different section of timber ie a thinner one which would bend easier ?

I have bent timber for boat building, put the timber in a metal pipe with water and a bung at both ends and then but it over a fire and steam it, but it's easier and safer to use ply and laminate it with a waterproof wood glue. if you google it I'm sure you'll find something, it really is very simple.

I have used thin marine ply with success (and no reports of any failures!). Just make sure you seal all the edges with a suitable waterproof varnish.
