Responsible Deck Building Practices

1. Safe

All Deking’s commercial decks are constructed according to the safety standards and industry guidelines for the Queensland and New South Wales building sector. We use quality-tested wood, stainless steel railings & fittings, and construction class treated timber for the structure. DeKing decks are built absolutely safe for public use.

2. Built to Last

With our extensive experience and specialty knowledge in decks, our construction of commercial projects, is professional and reliable. Our use of top quality hardwearing materials and our design and construction practice creates longevity in your finished project.

3. Environmentally Friendly

With our environmentally friendly materials available through eKoDeking, our commercial decks will certainly get the tick of approval from environmentally aware business owners and community groups. Using composite decking materials made from recycled wood and plastic, and by sourcing new wood from sustainable forests, we are helping to save our environment!

Why Most Commercial Clients Choose Composite Decking

In high-traffic commercial environments, composite decking has become the dominant choice over hardwood timber for several practical reasons:

• Zero ongoing maintenance — no oiling, sanding, or staining. Critical for businesses that can’t afford regular downtime for deck maintenance
• Slip-resistant surface — tested to commercial slip-resistance standards, reducing public liability risk
• 25-year manufacturer’s warranty — long-term cost certainty for body corporates and facility managers
• Consistent appearance — doesn’t grey, fade, or splinter unevenly under high foot traffic like untreated timber
• Colour and branding options — available in a wide range of profiles and colours to match your property aesthetic or corporate branding

How DeKing Can Set Your Property Above the Rest

Deking’s projects include: Hardwood pergolas, decks for offices and inner city rooftops, boardwalks for rainforest paths, sanctuary retreats, wheelchair access ramps, timber walkways for museums, information & visitors centres. Deking can also design and build large boat harbour piers or wide esplanades for City Councils. Our decks for community areas are constructed to withstand the elements and designed to endure high traffic use.
Timber decks add atmosphere to public areas. Wooden decks are a great way to upgrade your communal places and guest facilities. By replacing slippery cracked tiles or boring grey concrete with treated wooden decks or boardwalks, you can create outdoor areas that are attractive and enticing. Wooden decks are a stylish addition to your commercial areas, inviting the visitor to linger and relax.
