Decks

Timber decks are becoming more and more popular in Australia as a way of extending your living space into the outdoors. And often that’s not just once, but twice.

Because if your main deck is at or near ground level you can have a roof with another deck on top, accessible from the first floor of your home, giving twice the additional living space.

That’s just one example of the sheer flexibility of timber decks. Like all our products, our decks are fully custom built so as to fit the location seamlessly. Our intention is to make the addition to your property seem as if it were part of the original design and build.

The decking can hide a multitude of sins, covering over rough land and putting it out of sight. The level can be the same as the indoor flooring, or you can have a step down to emphasise the transition to the outdoors. And if you have a sloping garden then you can still have a level decking area, or a split level if desired.

Whilst household extensions in former times tended to feature concrete or stone, and later plastic, as their main material, the use of wood is now proving to be the best option by far. Being a completely natural substance, wood is both environmentally friendly and surprisingly long lasting, even in the most severe conditions of heat and wet.

Our wood is robust enough to withstand even the hottest temperatures. Our decks are made of the finest quality hardwood and are specially treated to ensure a long life. Just as important, however, and often overlooked, is the kind of nails or screws to use in the construction. If you live near the coast or have a swimming pool nearby then it’s important to avoid galvanised nails. Our decking is secured using only stainless steel nails.

Where should I put my deck?

If you’re wondering where the best location is for your deck then our team can advise. Much depends on the layout of your home, of course, but you should consider

* whether you prefer it to be mostly in the sun or mostly in the shade
* whether you want to avoid being overlooked by your neighbours
* whether you have children you want to keep your eye on when they play on the decking
* the position of trees that might shed their leaves on your decking
* the layout and area available on each side of your home.
