Our Decking Solutions
Our deck builds are customised to suit your property and preferences. Here’s what’s typically included:
- Deck Design Consultation
We begin with a site visit to discuss your goals and assess layout, access and how the deck will interact with the home. Good planning helps create a practical and inviting space. - Hardwood Timber Construction
We use Australian hardwoods chosen for their strength, durability and appearance. These timbers hold up well in Bellingen’s climate and provide a warm, natural finish. - Deck Repair and Refurbishment
We can repair or rebuild old decks to improve safety, appearance and lifespan. This may involve new boards, fresh finishes or full structural replacements. - Integrated Outdoor Planning
We design decks to work with outdoor features like gardens, pathways and covered areas. The goal is a seamless extension of your living space.
Tailored Decking for Your Site
Every Bellingen block comes with its own set of design challenges—whether that’s tree coverage, steep sections or water runoff. We start by looking at the site conditions and choose footings, framing and materials that suit the specific environment. For sloping blocks, we may build raised or split-level decks to avoid major excavation. In more exposed areas, wind and drainage are carefully considered to maintain safety and longevity. The goal is always the same: a deck that performs well, feels comfortable and fits naturally with the landscape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What approvals are needed for a deck in Bellingen?
Decks that exceed certain heights, sizes or that are attached to a dwelling will generally require council approval. Bellingen Shire Council provides guidelines for what’s considered exempt development. It's always worth checking early to avoid issues once building begins.
What are the benefits of a raised deck on a sloping block?
Raised decks provide a level area without needing to dig into the slope or perform heavy earthworks. They allow better airflow beneath the structure and can offer great views in hilly areas like Bellingen. They’re also ideal for creating under-deck storage or shaded zones.
How do seasonal changes affect deck maintenance?
Bellingen’s mix of rain, humidity and heat means timber can expand, contract or discolour over time. It’s best to clean your deck at the end of each season and apply oil or sealant before summer. This routine helps prevent cracking, warping and surface mould.
Can a deck be designed to support a roof or pergola later?
Yes, decks can be engineered with future additions in mind. If you’re planning to add a roof or pergola later, reinforcing key areas during the initial build is important. This saves time and money when you decide to expand down the track.
