Decks

A deck should feel solid underfoot, drain well and look like it belongs to the house. We build in hardwood or composite, on a frame designed to last.

Timber and finishes

  • Spotted gum and blackbutt: hard-wearing Australian hardwoods.
  • Merbau: rich colour, popular for decks.
  • Composite boards: low maintenance, consistent colour.
  • Oiled, stained or left to silver naturally.

How we build

  • Footings and a frame set out level and square.
  • Ventilation under the deck to keep the frame dry.
  • Hidden or face fixings, your choice.
  • Steps, balustrades and built-in seating if you want them.

How we work

Measured twice.

Good carpentry starts before the saw. We plan with you, choose the timber together and build it once, properly.

  1. Measure and listenWe visit, measure up and hear how you want to use the space.
  2. Drawings and a fixed quoteSimple drawings, the timber and finish, and one price.
  3. BuildA tidy site, regular updates and the finish you chose.
  4. Hand overA walk-through and care notes for the timber.
