Decking & Pergolas
We design and build decks, pergolas and outdoor structures that handle the Melbourne climate - properly sub-framed, fixed correctly, and finished to last.
Outdoor structures get punished by the Melbourne weather. Sub-frame ventilation, board gaps and fixings all matter. We build decks and pergolas that still look good after a few seasons - not just on handover day.

Decking & Pergolas - your questions
+Hardwood or composite?
Both have a place. Hardwood looks beautiful but needs maintenance. Composite is lower maintenance but higher up-front. We will recommend based on how you will use the deck.
+Do you handle permits for decks and pergolas?
If the structure needs a permit, yes - we coordinate that as part of the job.
