What Is Decking?
Decking is a raised platform built outdoors, typically attached to a home or freestanding in a garden, used for relaxation, dining, or entertaining. It can be constructed from various materials and customized in layout, finish, and features to suit your needs and environment.
Types of Decking We Design & Install
Basic Timber Decking
A classic, cost-effective option using pressure-treated wood or pine — perfect for simple patios or garden paths.
Best For:
• Budget-conscious homeowners
• Small yards or balconies
• Quick installations
Best Practices:
• Seal and stain regularly to prevent rot
• Use galvanized fasteners to avoid rust
• Add anti-slip strips for safety
Hardwood Decking
Durable and rich in tone, hardwoods like teak, balau, or garapa offer natural beauty and longevity.
Best For:
• Mid-range to premium outdoor spaces
• Warm, organic aesthetics
• High-traffic areas
Best Practices:
• Oil annually to maintain colour and grain
• Use hidden fasteners for a clean look
• Allow for expansion gaps in installation
Composite Decking
Made from recycled wood and plastic, composite decking offers low maintenance and modern appeal.
Best For:
• Contemporary homes
• Coastal or humid climates
• Families seeking durability
Best Practices:
• Choose textured finishes for slip resistance
• Install with proper ventilation underneath
• Use colour-matched screws and trim
Poolside & Spa Decking
Moisture-resistant decking designed to surround pools, spas, or water features — often using composite or treated hardwood.
Best For:
• Pool owners
• Outdoor wellness areas
• Safety-conscious designs
Best Practices:
• Use slip-resistant surfaces
• Incorporate drainage systems
• Avoid untreated wood near water
Multi-Level Decking
This is the heading
Tiered platforms connected by steps or ramps — ideal for sloped yards or large properties.
Best For:
• Homes with elevation changes
• Zoned outdoor living (dining, lounging, fire pit)
• Statement designs
Best Practices:
• Ensure structural integrity with reinforced framing
• Use lighting to define levels and improve safety
• Blend materials for visual interest
