  • What is the best material for decking?

    The best decking material depends on your budget, style, and maintenance preferences. Timber decking offers natural beauty and warmth, while composite decking provides durability and low maintenance. Treated pine is cost-effective and long-lasting when properly sealed, making it ideal for family-friendly outdoor spaces.

  • What are the different decking styles?

    There are several popular decking styles, each offering a unique look and function to suit different homeowner lifestyles:


    • Classic Timber Decking – Natural timber, such as Merbau or spotted gum, creates a warm, timeless appeal and can be stained or oiled for protection and colour depth.
    • Composite Decking – Made from a blend of wood fibres and recycled plastic, composite boards offer low maintenance, weather resistance and durability without the need for painting or oiling.
    • Floating Decks – Built close to the ground without being attached to the home, these are ideal for creating a relaxed entertainment area in open backyards or gardens.
    • Raised Decks – Perfect for sloping blocks or multi-level homes, raised decks create usable space while maximising views and airflow.

  • How do I maintain my deck or pergola?

    Regular maintenance keeps your deck or pergola looking its best. Clean the surface every few months, re-oil or reseal timber annually, and inspect for loose boards or fittings. Composite materials need minimal upkeep, usually just a simple wash to remove dirt and debris.
