Things to Consider When Building Your Deck With Your Patio?

Height
Size of the deck space
Choice of materials
Fencing

Height

The design of decks with gaps in between the slats is a great way for loose sand to fall away instead of collecting on the surface like it does on other traditional flooring. Although if your deck is built without height and access to get underneath, when things fall between the spaces some designs require the removal of slats to retrieve them.

Size of Deck Space

What kind of items would you like to place out on your deck? Planter boxes, seating, tables, BBQ or even children’s toys.

Choice of Materials

When building a deck you have a choice of traditional hardwood like Jarrah, Blackbutt, Merbau or other similar or Trex Composite material.

Trex eco-friendly composite decking is a fabulous option as it is a superior decking that will guarantee you wear and tear giving you a range of 18 deck colours, wood grain features and designs. The deck substructure is made from TrexElevations for internal and external use and is very low maintenance.

Fencing

If your deck is off the ground at a certain height, then a requirement of surround safety railings is required. For privacy reasons, if your decking is facing a neighbour’s private space then you may want to include a privacy screening.
