Deck Types
Choosing the right decking material is an important part of designing your new outdoor space. Pergola Land offers a range of quality decking options to suit different homes, styles, maintenance preferences and site requirements. Compare our decking options below or visit our Thornleigh showroom to see the materials and finishes in person.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is a popular choice for homeowners looking for the appearance of timber with less ongoing maintenance. Manufactured using a combination of timber fibres and polymers, composite decking provides a durable outdoor surface without the regular sanding, staining and oiling associated with traditional timber decking.
Available in a wide range of colours, textures and timber-look finishes, composite decking can complement both contemporary and traditional Sydney homes.
With good resistance to moisture, rot and termites, composite decking is well suited to outdoor entertaining areas, pool surrounds and family living spaces where durability and easy maintenance are important.
Our team can help you compare composite decking colours and finishes to find an option that complements your home, pergola and surrounding landscape.
Aluminium Decking
Aluminium decking combines the appearance of timber with the durability and low maintenance of aluminium, making it an excellent option for modern outdoor living areas.
Our Australian-made aluminium decking is available in a range of timber-look finishes, providing the warmth and character of natural timber without the ongoing sanding, staining or oiling.
Unlike traditional timber, aluminium won’t rot, warp or be affected by termites, making it particularly well suited to exposed outdoor areas, elevated decks, pool surrounds and properties where long-term durability is a priority.
Aluminium decking is also a non-combustible option that can be particularly beneficial when designing decks for properties in bushfire-prone areas. The suitability of materials for an individual project will depend on the property’s BAL requirements and overall deck design.
With minimal ongoing maintenance and excellent durability, aluminium decking is a practical choice for homeowners wanting a long-lasting outdoor space without the upkeep associated with timber.
Hardwood Timber Decking
For homeowners who love the warmth and character of natural timber, hardwood decking creates a timeless outdoor living space that complements a wide range of architectural styles.
Natural hardwood offers unique colour and grain variations, giving every deck its own individual finish. Our hardwood decks are constructed over an engineered steel subframe, providing a strong and durable foundation for your outdoor area.
A concealed fixing system creates a clean deck surface with minimal visible fixings, allowing the natural timber to remain the focus of the design.
Hardwood decking does require regular maintenance to preserve its appearance and protect the timber from Sydney’s outdoor conditions. Our team can help you compare hardwood with composite and aluminium decking so you can choose the option that best suits your preferred look and level of ongoing maintenance.
External Flooring Decks
For projects requiring an alternative to traditional decking boards, Pergola Land can design and construct external flooring systems suitable for a range of outdoor applications.
Our specialised BAL Deck system provides an external flooring solution for projects in bushfire-prone areas, including properties with higher BAL requirements.
The system incorporates a strong steel joist structure topped with compressed fibre cement flooring, creating a solid base that can be finished with a range of suitable tiles or other external flooring finishes.
This allows homeowners to create the look of a tiled outdoor entertaining area while benefiting from the strength and durability of an engineered deck structure.
BAL and Flame Zone projects require site-specific assessment, design and material selection. Our team can coordinate the relevant bushfire, design and approval requirements as part of your overall project.
Complete Your Outdoor Space
A well-designed deck creates the foundation for a functional outdoor living area, but the right additions can make the space even more comfortable, private and practical.
Deck Handrails & Balustrades
Complete your new deck with a custom handrail or balustrade designed to provide safety while complementing the style of your outdoor area.
Handrails can be incorporated into elevated decks, stairs, balconies and outdoor entertaining areas, with the design considered as part of the overall deck rather than added as an afterthought.
Depending on your project and preferred style, options can include:
- Powder-coated metal handrails
- Stainless steel wire balustrades
- Glass balustrades
Our team will help you select a handrail style, colour and finish that complements your decking, pergola and existing home while meeting the requirements applicable to your project.
Privacy Screens & Outdoor Blinds
Create a more private, comfortable and functional outdoor area with custom privacy screens and outdoor blinds designed to integrate seamlessly with your deck or pergola.
Privacy screens can help reduce overlooking from neighbouring properties, conceal utilities and storage areas, or define different zones within your outdoor space. Available in a range of colours, styles and finishes, they can be customised to complement your decking, handrails, pergola and existing home.
For covered decks and pergolas, outdoor blinds provide additional protection from sun, wind and rain while increasing privacy and helping you enjoy your outdoor entertaining area throughout the year.
When incorporated during the initial deck or pergola design, privacy screens and outdoor blinds can create a clean, cohesive finish that looks like an intentional part of the overall outdoor space.
Deck FAQ's
What is the best decking material for Sydney homes?
The best decking material depends on the look you want, your budget, how much maintenance you are comfortable with and the location of your deck.
Pergola Land offers aluminium, composite and hardwood decking, along with specialised external flooring systems. Aluminium and composite decking are popular low-maintenance options, while hardwood provides the natural warmth and character of traditional timber.
Our team can talk you through the benefits of each option and help you choose the right decking material for your home and lifestyle.
What is the difference between aluminium, composite and hardwood decking?
Each decking material offers different benefits.
Aluminium decking is extremely durable, low maintenance, non-combustible and resistant to rot, warping and termites.
Composite decking provides a timber-look appearance with less maintenance than traditional timber and is available in a wide range of colours and finishes.
Hardwood decking provides the natural appearance and character of real timber but requires more ongoing maintenance, including cleaning and periodic oiling or coating.
We’ll help you compare the options based on appearance, maintenance, performance and budget during the design process.
Do I need council approval to build a deck in Sydney?
Whether your new deck requires approval depends on factors including its size, height, location and the planning requirements that apply to your property.
Some decks may qualify as exempt or complying development, while others may require council approval. Pergola Land’s compliance team can assess your proposed project and, where required, coordinate the relevant plans, documentation and approval process.
Can you build an elevated deck or a deck on a sloping block?
Yes. Pergola Land designs and constructs elevated decks and outdoor living areas for properties where changes in ground level, sloping sites or existing building levels require a more considered structural design.
Depending on the project, this may involve engineered subframes, stairs, handrails, balustrades and other site-specific design requirements.
Every elevated deck is custom designed to suit the property, proposed use and applicable building requirements.
Can you build a deck in a bushfire-prone area?
Yes. We have experience designing and constructing decks and outdoor structures for properties in bushfire-prone areas, including projects with higher Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements.
Material selection and construction requirements will depend on the BAL rating and individual site. Options such as aluminium decking and specialised external flooring systems may be considered depending on the requirements of the project.
Our team can also coordinate the relevant BAL assessment, design and approval requirements.
Does Pergola Land repair or replace existing decks?
Pergola Land specialises in the design and construction of new decks and complete outdoor living projects. We do not provide general deck repairs, maintenance or re-coating services.
If your project involves replacing an existing deck as part of the construction of a new Pergola Land deck or outdoor living area, our team can discuss the scope of work with you during your initial consultation.
How much does it cost to build a deck in Sydney?
The cost of building a deck in Sydney varies depending on the size and height of the deck, your choice of decking material, site access and the complexity of the design.
Other factors such as stairs, handrails, privacy screens, engineering and council or certification requirements can also affect the overall project cost. Aluminium, composite and hardwood decking each have different price points, so our team can help you compare the options based on your design, lifestyle and budget.
