Complete Outdoor Living Solutions
Your deck can be the foundation for a complete outdoor living space. Our Tuggeranong clients often combine their decking projects with complementary features to create the ultimate year-round outdoor retreat.
Pergolas and Patios
Transform your deck into an all-weather entertainment space with a custom-designed pergola. Whether you prefer the classic appeal of a timber pergola or the durability of modern aluminium, we can integrate these structures seamlessly with your deck design. Add retractable shade sails or clear roofing to create a comfortable space in any season.
Pool Surrounds
Make your pool area safer and more attractive with custom pool decking. We specialise in creating non-slip surfaces perfect for pool surrounds, using materials specifically designed to handle regular exposure to water and pool chemicals. Our designs integrate drainage systems and can accommodate pool fencing while maintaining a seamless look throughout your outdoor space.
Verandah Extensions
Extend your existing verandah or create a new one that seamlessly connects with your deck. Our designs can match your home’s architectural style while providing additional covered outdoor living space. These extensions are perfect for creating sheltered entranceways, expanding your outdoor dining area, or connecting different zones of your outdoor space.
Outdoor Kitchens and BBQ Areas
Transform your deck into an outdoor culinary hub with a custom-designed cooking and entertaining space. From simple BBQ stations to complete outdoor kitchens with preparation areas and serving stations, we can design a space that matches your entertaining style.
Tailored Design Process
From your first consultation to the final inspection, our design process is centred around creating the perfect outdoor space for your Tuggeranong home. Our experienced designers start by understanding how you plan to use your deck – whether for quiet morning coffees overlooking the valley, weekend entertainment, or creating a safe play area for the kids.

Understanding Your Investment

Frequently Asked Questions About Decking in Tuggeranong
Yes, we recommend incorporating a slight slope of approximately 1:100 in your deck design. This ensures proper water runoff and helps maintain the longevity of your deck.
Yes, we recommend installing a layer of gravel beneath your deck. This helps with drainage and prevents weed growth, contributing to your deck’s overall durability and maintenance.
Yes, maintaining a gap under your decking is essential for proper ventilation and drainage. This helps prevent moisture buildup and allows for easier maintenance access when needed.
Per ACT building codes and safety standards, decks up to 1 metre above ground level can be built without railings. However, we often recommend including railings regardless of height for added safety and functionality for many of our Tuggeranong clients, especially those with young families or those creating entertainment spaces.
In Tuggeranong, considering our soil types and typical deck designs, we generally limit post spacing to 2.4 meters maximum. However, this can vary based on your specific deck height, intended use, and whether you plan features like built-in seating or pergolas – common additions for our local outdoor entertainment style.
While possible, we don’t recommend building decks directly on the ground in Tuggeranong due to our region’s soil conditions and seasonal moisture variations. Our experience with local conditions shows that elevated decks perform better long-term, offering better protection against moisture and improving air circulation.
