Composite decking boards are becoming more and more popular all over the world. There are many reasons for this, but one of the main reasons is that composite decking is a great choice for environmentally friendly products and the replacement of real timber. In this post, we will discuss what length of composite decking boards is the best for international trade.
In the market, there are a lot of different lengths of composite decking boards, like 2.2m, 2.9m, 3m, 3.6m, 4m, 4.8m, 5m, 5.6m,6m and so on.
As a composite decking wholesaler, we need to consider at least two points before we make a purchase from abroad composite decking manufacturer.
1, What lengths are the best sellers in the local market, you can easily find them from your competitors, or market research company.
If the local people prefer long boards, like 6 meters, and you only offer 2.2 meters or 3 meters, you will definitely lose a lot of customers. So it’s very important to know what is the popular length in your local market.
On the contrary, if the short boards are more popular in the market, like 2.2 meters and 3 meters, you can try to mix some long boards in case some clients need them.
2, As the composite boards are made in abroad countries, the most economical way to bring them into your warehouse is via sea shipment. Normally those boards will be loaded into a container, 20ft and 40ft containers are the two standards of the containers for composite decking shipment.
20ft and 40ft containers’ internal available widths are the same at 2.35m, while we will define the pallets’ total width will not more than 2.25m to leave some operation room for the forklift.
Then we will define the length of the composite decking board. First of all, we need to know that the internal available length of 20ft container is 5.85m and 40ft container is 11.9m. With those knowledge, we can easily configure the container with different lengths of boards or all with the same length boards. Hereby we would like to give some samples which Veejoy Outdoor Industry Limited exported as following for reference.
2.2m composite decking boards which is a best length for 20ft container which we can load it horizontally.
2.9m composite decking boards which is a best length for 20ft container as well but vertically loaded.
3.6m/3.66m/12ft composite decking boards can be loaded in a 40ft container.
4.8m/4.88m/16ft composite decking boards can be loaded in a 40ft container.
Lastly, we need to understand that the composite decking board is a kind of heavy product, so the best option is a 20ft container for international trade.
Veejoy Outdoor Industry Limited always can provide the best solution for the shipment of different lengths of composite decking, we would like to help any international composite decking trader who need help on the length of composite decking matter.
