Our aluminium decking is the perfect safety addition to our base and stacking units, providing a safe and stable platform to stand on while lowering the coffin into place.
The standard size of a 4-sided decking is 2400mm x 900mm usable space. This consists of 2 x 2400mm x 400mm and 2 x 1700mm x 400mm panels which bolt together. For customers who require only 3 sides, we have a standard 3-sided decking which consists of 2 x 2400mm x 400mm and 1 x 1700mm x 400mm panels, with a bar in place of the fourth side. This 3-sided decking is useful for monument areas or where there is limited space.
4 Sided Decking
3 Sided Decking
Customers who want to use both the 3 and 4-sided decking can simply remove the extra 1700mm x 400mm panel and replace it with the SHS bar, saving the cost of buying two separate deckings. Let our sales team know if you would like this option so we can include both the 4-sided decking and the conversion bar.
Safety lids can be used with the decking to cover the grave overnight, making sure no one falls into an unattended grave. They come in solid aluminium (pictured above) or mesh (pictured below), and can be lockable and attached to the shoring or decking for added security.
For a more presentable view for family and friends during the lowering of the coffin, we offer a removable collar. The collar gives a cleaner view from above so the soil is not the focus, and gives the decking a neat, finished look.
