Composite Decking
Our composite decking solutions offer Macquarie homeowners the perfect blend of beauty and practicality.

Our skilled artisans blend traditional design elements with modern engineering to create verandahs that provide year-round protection from Canberra’s sometimes harsh elements. Each structure is engineered to enhance natural airflow around your home, creating cooling breezes during summer while offering protection from winter rains. From classic Federation-style detailing to sleek contemporary designs, our verandahs deliver functional outdoor living spaces that respect your home’s architectural integrity while adding valuable covered area to your property.
Patio
Our custom patio designs create the perfect transition between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment for Macquarie homeowners. Understanding Canberra’s distinct seasonal changes, we craft covered structures that provide shade during blazing summers while allowing precious winter sunlight to warm your home. Our patios feature integrated drainage systems explicitly engineered for local rainfall patterns and robust structural elements that stand up to occasional ACT windstorms. The Decking Canberra team specialises in creating multi-functional spaces with options for built-in seating, lighting systems, and weatherproof entertainment areas—all designed to extend your living space while adding significant value to your Macquarie property.
Timber Decking
We specialise in crafting stunning timber decks that bring natural warmth and character to Macquarie homes. Our carefully selected hardwoods—spotted gum, merbau, and blackbutt—are explicitly chosen for their resilience to Canberra’s harsh climate extremes. Each timber deck is expertly treated with premium sealants that protect against UV damage while enhancing the wood’s natural grain patterns. Our local artisans understand the unique challenges of Macquarie’s environment, designing elevated structures that maximise airflow to prevent moisture damage during wet seasons while creating the perfect entertainment space for those legendary Canberra summer barbecues.
Pool Decking
We design and construct pool surrounds that perfectly balance safety and sophistication, using materials specifically chosen for their barefoot comfort and non-slip properties. Our local team understands Canberra’s unique pool regulations and ensures all designs meet ACT safety standards while maximising your outdoor space. The carefully engineered drainage systems prevent water pooling during summer storms, while our heat-resistant materials stay cool underfoot during scorching Canberra afternoons.

Common Questions About Deck Building in Macquarie
What is the best decking material for Macquarie's climate?
Composite decking offers the best performance in Macquarie’s extreme temperatures. It resists warping in summer heat and doesn’t crack during winter frosts. Spotted gum provides excellent natural durability for timber options for our local conditions.
Can decks be built during Canberra's winter months?
Yes, we construct decks year-round in Macquarie. Winter projects benefit from more flexible scheduling and sometimes faster completion times. Our construction methods account for timber moisture content and temperature-related expansion considerations.
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.
Are your decks bushfire compliant for Macquarie properties?
Absolutely. We design all decks to meet or exceed Macquarie’s Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements. We use compliant materials, proper ember protection for underfloor spaces, and non-combustible elements where required by ACT regulations.
