Summary

Consumer preferences for outdoor wooden deckings were analyzed. Various materials used for wooden deckings were analyzed; both traditional pressure treated wood and alternative products. The analysis involved evaluation by both an objective sensory panel and a panel of consumers. The results indicated that sensory analysis can be successfully used to find a set of generic parameters that can be used to do objective evaluation of wood properties.
