Timber Decking Materials

DeKing provides a wide array of timber decking materials to build the deck or patio of your dreams. Each of our materials performs well in different situations. Your decision should depend on your application and your own unique style. Our most popular products are Merbau (Intsia bijuga), sometimes known as Kwila. It offers a reeded underside with a very smooth top side and a great density rating to prevent termites. Many of our timber decking clients love Merbau for its deep red-brown colour and even finish.

Brisbane residents who live in a Queenslander style home prefer the look of Spotted Gum or some type of Australian Mixed species. This type of decking is more rustic with natural gum lines for character.

At a Glance

Material: Merbau (Kwila) –  Best for: termite resistance, deep red-brown colour, dense and durable
Material: Spotted Gum / Australian Mixed Species –  Best for: rustic Queenslander-style homes, natural gum-line character
Material: Treated Pine (frame) – Best for: cost-effective structural framing beneath hardwood decking

What makes a Deking
Deck so special?

DeKings decks are backed with a 25 year warranty, so to maintain this standard there are a lot of things that go on above, and below the decking surface. We started out on the Gold Coast and also build decks and patio roofs in Brisbane.

A good deck has to start with a good foundation, following through a strong frame and finished with finely finished laid decking

All our decks are pictured framed to protect the ends of the decking boards, with a decking board fascia to cover the deck frame. Corners are beautifully mitred by the craftsmanship or our carpenters.

What style of Deck do you need?

Be it a small entranceway that needs a Wow statement to building on the side of a cliff, we at Deking can accommodate your needs.

Our timber decking solutions can be built over existing concrete or tiles within an alfresco area to difficult sloping sites that requires large footings and special engineering design.

We’re only too happy to work with you to create something that is unique, functional, and provides real value to your property.

Projects requiring council permits are inspected by a private certifier, who provides a final certificate (Form 21) confirming the build meets all applicable codes and building standards.
