Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Building in Bruce
What deck materials work best for Bruce's climate conditions?
For Bruce properties, we recommend spotted gum hardwood or high-quality composite decking due to their exceptional durability in Canberra’s extreme temperature variations. Both options offer excellent bushfire resistance while withstanding our harsh UV exposure with minimal maintenance requirements.
Are your decks bushfire-compliant for Bruce properties?
Absolutely. All our deck designs and materials for Bruce comply with ACT’s strict Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements. We select appropriate fire-resistant materials and construction methods based on your property’s specific BAL rating, ensuring safety and compliance.
What is the expected lifespan of a deck?
The lifespan depends on the materials used for construction and the environmental conditions around the deck. Softwood decks last for 15 years, and hardwood decks for 20 years. Parts like timber rails will, with proper maintenance, last for at least 25 years.
Can you build a deck with integrated features like lighting and seating?
Yes, we specialize in custom decks with integrated features, LED lighting, built-in seating, privacy screens, and outdoor kitchen preparations.
Can colour on decks be restored?
Deck colours can fade over time, especially when it’s made of organic material. Exposure to the sun’s UV rays has a bleaching effect on organic materials. Restoring such surfaces is easy with the use of special paints containing UV blockers. Chemicals like oil or paraffin paints are also for restoration, but only if the wood should not absorb moisture. For applying the paint, use a paint roller or spray the paint on instead of a brush.
What is the best time of year to build a deck in Bruce?
While we build year-round in Bruce, autumn (March-May) often provides ideal construction conditions with mild temperatures and lower rainfall. However, our construction methods accommodate Canberra’s seasonal challenges, allowing quality installation regardless of season.
