Deck
Composite WPC boards need no staining or sealing and have no splinters - useful on a raised deck that is awkward to reach underneath for maintenance.
Ideas
Decks and covers for sloping sections
Hillside sections in Wellington, Dunedin and the Bay of Plenty often have nowhere flat to put a table. A raised deck creates the level ground; a roof makes it usable year-round.
What works best
Elite Canopies
Built to your site measurements rather than a fixed kit size, so the roof can follow the deck shape on a stepped or angled site.
Fencing & Gates
Balustrade-height fencing with aluminium-reinforced rails closes off the open edge of a raised deck.
Things to plan for
- Raised decks over a certain height need barriers under the Building Code - we check this at the measure.
- Access for posts and footings on steep ground affects the build, so we look at it on site.
- A view-facing deck catches wind; consider a blind or panel on the exposed side.
