Frequently Asked Questions
What timber is best for outdoor decks in Australia?
Hardwoods such as merbau, spotted gum and blackbutt are popular because they are durable, termite-resistant and withstand Australian weather conditions. Treated pine is a more budget-friendly option but requires regular sealing to last. The choice often comes down to balancing look, cost, and maintenance. High-quality hardwoods usually offer the longest lifespan with the least upkeep.
Do decks and patios add value to a property?
Yes — a well-designed outdoor living space is one of the most attractive features for home buyers. Decks and patios increase usable floor space, create entertaining zones and improve lifestyle appeal. This added functionality often leads to higher property value and faster sales. The return on investment can be especially strong when the design complements the home’s style.
How do I maintain a timber deck?
Maintenance is key to extending the life of a deck. Regular cleaning removes dirt, leaves and mould, which can cause timber to deteriorate. Applying oil or sealant every 12–18 months helps protect against moisture and UV damage. Checking for loose nails, warped boards or damaged areas once a year keeps the structure safe and strong. With consistent care, a deck can stay looking great for decades.
