With property sizes getting smaller these days, homeowners are looking to maximize the outdoor space available to them. One way to do this is to build a modern, low-maintenance deck to enjoy year-round offering a seamless and integrated living experience. A deck can be used to extend the indoors out if you are looking for more space or to reduce the maintenance effort required to upkeep lawns and gardens whilst having an outdoor entertaining area your friends will envy.
At Pergola and Decking Solutions our team has the skills and expertise to create the deck that you have always wanted and one that will exceed your expectations. We can create a perfect outdoor living space to host family and friends or to simply relax and enjoy on your own with a drink and a good book.
We use quality decking products with manufacturers offering 25-year warranties on their products. For deck builds, we offer timber, steel, or aluminum subframe construction along with natural timber or new composite products that are quickly gaining popularity for decking boards. Composite decking has many benefits and has become one of the most popular and sustainable choices for homeowners across Canberra looking to enhance their outdoor spaces.
Higher quality composite boards provide a look and feel that is almost indistinguishable from real timber with tangible and visible grooves, knots, and color variations in the grain. The Composite is highly durable and maintenance-free. There is no requirement for regular staining, oiling, or maintenance. High-end composites come fully capped, meaning that they have a protective layer around all four sides. This added layer of protection makes composite decks UV-resistant, fade-resistant, and aging-resistant.
Composite is immune to the hazards that can break down timber over time, making it a durable, low-maintenance option that can resist the elements and is more economical in the long term. We partner with a number of composite decking board suppliers so it is sure to be a size, color, and finish to suit your lifestyle and preference.

The Benefits of Composite Decking
Composite decking is a man-made product that is typically made by combining different materials including a mix of wood and plastic. These materials are combined with bonding agents, pigments and stabilisers, and are then heated and extruded into planks that include grain-like patterns to replicate the look of real wood.
Gone are the days of wood being the only option for your new deck. Composite materials are now becoming the decking material of choice. Whilst wood, such as merbau and spotted gum, is still suited to decks, it’s being overshadowed by the many
High Durability
First and foremost, a deck needs to be durable and strong if it’s going to host family, friends and your outdoor furniture and pots. We construct our decks to comply with and often exceed Australian and manufacturers recommended standards. Our aluminium/steel subframes will not rot, warp, twist or be impacted by termites. Our composite decking boards are backed by manufactures warranties up to 25 years with little maintenance and are constructed using a number of different materials providing exceptional strength and resistance to wear and tear.
Price
Both timber and composite decking vary in quality and price. Whilst timber is slightly cheaper upfront, it does require regular ongoing maintenance and upkeep costing you time and money over the life of the deck. Composite decking does cost a little more initially but will be on par with timber after a few years due to its low maintenance characteristics. You will have more time to enjoy and entertain on your deck, rather than working on it to make it look good before you host your next get-together.
More Color More Choices
Composite decking has now been around for some 25 years and has certainly come a long way in that time. The current generation of composite decking is now available in a wide range of colors, widths, and textures that mimic the natural grain and beauty of timber. A high amount of detail is now included in the manufacturing process to successfully replicate the look of timber. You can be confident that there is a composite deck that will integrate perfectly with your home and lifestyle.
Low Maintenance
Composite decking won’t break down and rot over time like wood can, so it generally requires little maintenance.
You won’t need to re-stain, oil or paint it regularly to keep it looking good. However, no product is totally maintenance free. General cleaning is still necessary to keep your deck looking at its best. Sometimes a quick hose down is all that is required and don’t worry, the boards are waterproof!
