Products & Decking Tips
Patios
Patio roofs are a great way to extend your living outdoors, when proffesionally designed they will create excellent indoor outdoor flow. Insulated Patio roofing will block the heat and reduce noise from the rain, along with great strength and low maintenance. A range of colours and designs including the evermore popular flyover style. Incoorporate with timber posts and beams to match your decking timber.
Pergolas
Pergola roofs with exposed rafters and colorbond roofing for that authentic Aussie look. Pergolas are an inexpensive way to provide shade from the sun and rain and provide you with an outdoor room in which to entertain. Adding clear sheets to the pergola roof will allow light to brighten the area and are high UV blockers
Timber Decks
A huge range of hardwood decking timbers in various sizes, from the standard 90mm wide decking timber to 140mm. The most popular being Kwila or Merbau. Treated pine or cypress pine for the budget conscious. Decks can be built over an existing tiles or concrete slabs, or on the second level of your home and everything in between.
Pool Decking
Pool decks can provide an area to sit and relax and can be built around in ground and above ground pools. The decking can be constructed to finish flush with your pool copping edge, or alternatively decking can extend over the edge of the pool for a totally seamless look and feel.
Materials
At Deking we only use the best materials on all of our decking and patio projects.
Timber used on our decks must be able to resist the elements. So it is important that you use timber specifically treated for outdoor conditions. We use solid quality Kwila hardwood for all of our outdoor decks and patios. Foundations are usually constructed with construction class treated pine.
Handrails
As well as being a safety feature, railings are a very visible part of your deck and there's a wide array of designs and materials to choose from. We receive great feedback from our clients when we recommend stainless steel railings. We use Marine grade stainless steel wires at 85mm intervals with a solid hardwood top railing.
A closed-in deck is important if there are small children around and the deck is a long more than a metre off the ground.
Decking design
Your deck can become an extension of your living area. By building it adjacent to your living room and using bi-fold doors, you can create an entertainment area that can be used year-round, especially on the Gold Coast.
Shading and heating
A north-facing deck is best positioned to receive winter sun and summer shade. However, any lighting or heating problems can be worked around by shading the deck, or using an outdoor heater. If you have voyeuristic neighbours, block out their prying eyes with a lattice screen.
