When ordering racking big question customers ask is whether or not they need decking, on top of this is the question of what type of decking to purchase.
Many times, decking might not be needed at all! If all objects being stored are large enough to rest on the front and back beams, then no decking is necessary. On the other hand, if you are going to be storing boxes or other smaller items that are not skid size, then you will need particle board or wire decking.
Wire decking is by far more popular than particleboard. This is the case for a few reasons. First of all, wire decking offers plenty of flue space. This allows vertical lines of sight stemming from the floor up to the ceiling. Having clear flue spaces allows for a safer rack in case of fire over particleboard. The airflow also makes wire decking a perfect option for the food industry. Of course, there are some reasons you may prefer particleboard, the price attracts many customers to particleboard.
