A deck is a valuable enhancement, blending lifestyle and investment seamlessly into your home.

Why a Deck?

A deck is more than just an addition to your home; it’s an extension of your living space, a stage for memories, and a retreat for relaxation. In the pleasant Brisbane climate, a deck becomes the heart of home entertainment, where barbecues sizzle, laughter echoes, and quiet moments under the stars are cherished. It’s where families gather, friends socialize, and the beauty of the outdoors meets the comfort of your home. Embrace a lifestyle where every day is an opportunity to enjoy the open air and scenic views, right from the comfort of your deck.

A well-crafted deck is not just a visual and functional enhancement to your home; it’s also a smart investment. Adding a deck increases your living space and boosts the aesthetic appeal of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers. In Brisbane’s competitive real estate market, a beautiful deck can significantly elevate your home’s value, offering a desirable feature that many buyers seek. It’s a cost-effective way to enhance your property’s marketability and enjoy the benefits of outdoor living.

What We Build

We construct small residential decks up to 10 sqm and no more than 1 metre off the ground. These are straightforward, functional decks designed for everyday use—such as entries, small outdoor areas, or simple entertaining spaces.

We supply all required materials and can assist with basic planning and layout to make sure the deck suits the space, access, and how it will be used.

How the Build Works

Decks are built in clear stages, allowing the structure to be done properly and checked as it progresses:

  1. Posts – Set and secured to provide a stable base
  2. Bearers – Installed to support the deck structure
  3. Joists and decking boards – Fixed to create a solid, usable surface

This staged approach ensures the deck is level, supported correctly, and built to last.

Timeframe

Most decks of this size are completed in around four days of labour, depending on site access and ground conditions. We’ll confirm timing before work begins so expectations are clear from the start.

FAQs

What permits do I need for deck construction in Brisbane?

You may need planning approval depending on your property’s zoning, overlays, and lot size. It’s not always required, but a Development.i property enquiry can help determine if your proposal needs council approval. More Info​

How do I choose the right materials for my deck in Brisbane’s climate?

In Brisbane, selecting the right materials for decking is crucial due to the extreme climate, including high humidity and dry seasons. Here are the materials and recommendations:

  1. Hardwood Timber: Hardwoods like merbau (kwila), blackbutt, ironbark, and spotted gum are highly durable, offering natural protection against decay and pests. They are classified as Class 1 and 2 timbers, known for their strength, beautiful natural colors, and distinctive textures. These hardwoods are easy to maintain and less likely to sustain scratches​​.
  2. Treated Softwood: Treated pine, a dense softwood, is a popular choice for its affordability and durability. It’s commonly used for posts, framework, and even deck planks as it absorbs colored stains well. Treated with agents like alkaline copper quaternary, it’s protected against microbes and pests​​.
  3. Composite Decking: Composites, made from sawdust and plastic fillers, offer a blend of durability and affordability. They are ideal for deck planks (not framework), requiring minimal maintenance and are easy to install with pre-cut grooves. Composite decking is also an eco-friendly choice as it often uses recycled materials​​.

Each material has its benefits and suits different needs, preferences, and budgets. It’s essential to choose materials that can withstand Brisbane’s unique weather conditions while aligning with the aesthetic and functional requirements of your deck.

What design considerations should I take into account for my deck?

Consider the deck’s load capacity, alignment, spacing of boards, and overall aesthetics. Make sure your design complies with local codes for safety and functionality.

What are the safety features required for decks?

Safety features include proper railings, balustrades for elevated decks, stable steps, and adherence to height regulations. Ensure all features meet the Australian Building Codes. For the most accurate and detailed regulations, always refer to the Building Code of Australia or consult a professional.

How do I ensure proper waterproofing and drainage for my deck?

Implement waterproofing methods like sealants and design the deck for effective water drainage. Consult with a professional for best results.

Should I hire a professional for deck installation?

Yes, hiring a qualified professional ensures that your deck is built safely and meets all regulations. Look for licensed contractors with good reviews and ensure they understand local codes.

What maintenance is required to keep my deck in good condition?

Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections are vital. Understand the maintenance needs for your specific materials and incorporate them into a routine schedule.
