Decks

We build beautiful decks using Kwila and Garapa.  Other materials are available but these two timbers are tried and tested. They look stunning when the decks are built and continue to look amazing for many years to come.

​

Timber's appeal lies in its natural grain patterns, colours, and the warm, inviting ambiance it creates. 

​

We have built hundreds of decks and would be delighted to build your next deck.  So please do call for a free quote.

​Types of Timber Used in Decking

Pine

Pine is one of the most popular choices for timber decking in New Zealand. It is readily available, relatively inexpensive, and easy to work with. Pine decking is often treated to resist rot and insect damage, ensuring longevity and durability.

Kwila

Kwila, an imported hardwood, is another favoured option. Known for its rich reddish-brown colour and dense grain, Kwila is highly resistant to decay and termites. Its durability makes it ideal for coastal areas where conditions can be harsh.

Garapa

Garapa is another imported hardwood that is gaining popularity. It has a golden colour and fine grain, offering a stunning visual appeal. Garapa is also very durable, making it a great choice for decking that will last for years.

Other Hardwoods

Other hardwoods like Teak, Jarrah, and Balau are also used in timber decking. Each type brings unique characteristics, colours, and grain patterns, allowing homeowners to tailor their decking to their personal aesthetic preferences.

Benefits of Timber Decking

Natural Beauty

The natural beauty of timber decking is one of its most significant advantages. The unique grain patterns and colours of the wood add character and charm to any outdoor space.

Warm and Inviting

Timber decking creates a warm and inviting ambiance, making outdoor areas feel cozy and comfortable. It is perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors.

Versatility

Timber decking is versatile and can be used for various applications, including patios, balconies, and pool surrounds. It can be stained or painted to match the existing decor, offering flexibility in design.

Durability

When properly maintained, timber decking can last for many years. Treated woods like Pine and dense hardwoods like Kwila and Garapa offer excellent resistance to environmental factors, ensuring longevity.
