German term or phrase: Außendielen
"Wetterfestigkeit für Ihre Außendielen und Sichtschutzwände"

Talking about WPC (wood plastic composite) products here. I can't find a translation for Außendielen anywhere, although there are several options for Diele on its own. Think it's outdoor something, but not sure exactly what. TIA for your help.

Versatile Ecodek wood polymer composite decking is a fantastic alternative to timber decking. It will outperform softwood and hardwood decking in all sorts of outdoor environments. It’s currently used in the construction of piers, footbridges, pathways, fencing, garden furniture, public seating areas, marinas … and of course outdoor decking!

Thanks Alison and peer graders. I used "decking", but I also quite liked "outdoor flooring", so I'm going to enter both in the glossary. Many thanks again - really appreciate your help.
