Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are best for building a deck?
The best material depends on your design goals, climate and maintenance preferences. Hardwood timbers like spotted gum and merbau are durable and visually striking, offering a classic, natural look. Treated pine is widely used but requires more upkeep. Composite decking is an increasingly popular alternative, known for low maintenance and resistance to moisture, fading and insects. It provides a consistent finish and suits both traditional and modern settings. Each option has different characteristics, so it’s important to weigh aesthetics, longevity and care requirements before choosing. A qualified builder can guide you through the best material for your project.
Do decks require council approval?
Approval depends on the deck’s size, height and proximity to property boundaries. In many areas, low-level decks under a certain height may not require council approval, but elevated structures, larger builds or those attached to the house often do. Local building codes may also govern balustrade height, footing depth and setbacks. It’s important to check with your local council or consult your builder early in the planning process. If approval is needed, a builder can assist with drawings and applications. Starting with the right permits ensures compliance, safety and avoids complications later during inspections or resale.
Can I customise the design of my deck?
Yes, decks can be fully customised to suit your home, lifestyle and site conditions. You can tailor the shape, height, materials, balustrades and even include features like built-in seating, lighting, privacy screens or planter boxes. Multi-level decks are a great solution for sloped blocks, while integrated steps can connect the deck seamlessly with your yard or home interior. The design should reflect how you plan to use the space — whether for entertaining, relaxing or everyday living. Customisation ensures the deck complements your home’s architecture and maximises both functionality and visual impact.
