Coming Soon: Our Online Deck Estimation Tool to work out the cost of your NEW deck.
Everybody knows that decks are a great addition to your home. The deck is a place where you can sit outside and enjoy the evening sunset or you can enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise. You may wish to add a Spa, create a BBQ area, tier it or just simply add an area as a place to sit and relax. As you can see there are many possibilities when you start looking for deck ideas.

"Do I need a building consent to build a deck on my property? A building consent is required for a deck only where it is more than 1m above the ground." Christchurch City council
The key to building yourdeck, is to build it to provide you with the amenities you enjoy. A deck can be fairly inexpensive, if you merely want a small space to relax on, but adding a deck to your home can be as expensive as you want to make it. By using our online deck building calculato, you will be able to determine which features you can afford and have an estimated cost for the complete project.
    Deck Construction and Materials:

All our decking subframes are constructed as follows, and are the parts of your deck that are generally hidden from view:

Piles are H5 ground treated 100x100 Radiata Pine, sunk into the ground and set in 300mm concrete.

Joists are H3.1 100x50 Radiata Pine fixed to the bearers with galvanished "Z" nails.
