Our enclosed deck ideas transform open outdoor spaces into protected, year-round retreats perfect for Brisbane, Gold Coast, and SE QLD climates. From screened enclosures and glass walls to roofing options and privacy features, they offer weather protection, insect barriers, and added living space while boosting your home’s value and appeal
A typical deck is flat platform, which usually has no roof and adjoins the home. Decks are elevated from the ground and are generally made from timber or composite materials. They can be covered by a canopy or pergola, and enclosed with railings. In this blog we look at some enclosed deck ideas.
Simply adding screening to a deck will enclose the area and offer more privacy for the owners. This option is still an open outside area, but screens out unwanted prying eyes and/or ugly views.
This next example shows a great outdoor dining and entertainment deck on the upper level, which has been enclosed with railings and fly screens. This design still allows fresh air to enter and circulate the deck area, but keeps those pesky insects out. With a roof, the owners also have the luxury of fans and lights for their entertainment deck.
This is another awesome example of an enclosed deck, this time utilising privacy screens, flyscreens, railings, and a roof to enclose the deck area. Power, fans, and lighting have all been included for comfort and to make the area usable day or night. What a great space!
The last example is a fully enclosed deck that weatherproofs the space completely with large sliding windows. It creates a wonderful, bright living area, with great ventilation when the windows are open, and also offers the owners another inside/outside area that is protected from the weather elements.
Yes, full enclosures with sliding windows or major structural changes usually require building approval. However, adding flyscreens, privacy screens or a basic roof often doesn’t. DeKing Decks can check your property’s specific requirements during the quote process.
The most popular option is combining railings with high-quality flyscreens and a patio roof. This keeps bugs out while maintaining good ventilation — perfect for Brisbane’s humid climate. Ceiling fans can be added for extra comfort.
Costs vary depending on the size, level of enclosure (screens vs full windows), and roofing chosen. For a personalised estimate tailored to your deck contact us.
