Urunga Deck Builders
In a coastal town like Urunga, outdoor spaces are just as important as what’s inside. A timber deck gives you a comfortable, functional area to enjoy sea breezes, entertain guests or simply make better use of your backyard. Whether your home is near the water or tucked into a quiet street, we build decks that match your lifestyle and the conditions of the local area.
At D.J. Decks, we use durable Australian hardwoods, build to suit your site, and keep things practical and low-fuss from start to finish. No matter the size or complexity, every deck is designed for long-term use with minimal maintenance.

Our Decking Solutions
Our deck builds are customised to suit your property and preferences. Here’s what’s typically included:
- Deck Design Consultation
We start with a site visit to understand how you plan to use the space. Layout, access points and orientation are considered from the beginning. - Hardwood Timber Construction
Australian hardwoods like blackbutt and spotted gum are used for their strength and weather resistance. These materials handle Urunga’s coastal climate well. - Deck Repair and Refurbishment
If your current deck is worn out or unsafe, we can replace damaged sections or rebuild the entire structure. Repairs help extend lifespan and improve safety. - Integrated Outdoor Planning
We make sure your deck works with other parts of your outdoor area, like lawns, pathways or covered zones. It’s all about making the space easy to use and well connected.
Our Decks are Tailored to Your Site
Building near the coast comes with a few extra things to think about—like wind, sand and water runoff. We check the site before we start to make sure the footing style, materials and construction method will hold up over time. If the area is sloped, shaded or has limited access, we’ll adjust the design to suit. Ventilation, drainage and stability are always factored in to prevent future issues. We aim for a build that’s solid, clean and low-maintenance for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does decking need to be spaced for airflow?
Yes, leaving small gaps between decking boards allows for airflow and water drainage. This helps prevent moisture from sitting on the surface or between boards, which can lead to mould or warping. Proper spacing also lets the timber expand and contract naturally with weather changes.
What type of footings are used for decks near the coast?
In coastal areas like Urunga, concrete pier footings are commonly used for stability and durability. These are set into the ground and keep the timber framing elevated and secure. Galvanised or stainless steel post brackets are often used to protect against corrosion.
Are stainless steel screws necessary for hardwood decks?
While not strictly required, stainless steel screws are strongly recommended for coastal decks. They resist rust far better than standard galvanised fixings, especially with salt air exposure. Using the right screws helps avoid long-term staining and structural issues.
What should I do to prepare for a deck build at home?
Before construction begins, it’s important to clear access around the build area and remove any obstacles like furniture, plants or debris. If approvals or permits are required, make sure these are lodged in advance to avoid delays. It also helps to discuss things like parking, pets and hours of access with your builder, so everything runs smoothly once work starts.
