Nothing beats the natural luxury of hardwood. Dense species such as Kwila (Merbau) and Vitex deliver deep, lustrous tones instantly lifting your outdoor area into a resort‑style retreat. Their tight grain and high oil content make them highly resistant to rot, insects and heavy foot traffic. Hardwood sands and oils beautifully, allowing you to refresh the colour whenever you wish.

Composite decking blends recycled wood fibres with advanced polymers to create boards that never need painting or staining. They shrug off spills, salt air and UV. Most composite decking brands provide 15 to 25 years colour‑fade and stain warranties. Hidden clip systems keep fixings out of sight which makes them great solutions for pool & spa decks and coastal homes.

Locally grown, kiln‑dried radiata pine offers unbeatable value without skimping on charm. Factory‑pressure treatment protects the wood against decay, and its lighter colour means you can stain it with anything from Scandinavian silver‑grey to deep walnut. Pine is lightweight and easy to work with, which speeds up construction and makes custom shapes, built‑in benches or quirky angles more affordable.

Turn a sloping North Shore / Auckland section into tiered entertaining zones: a BBQ platform, dining space or fire‑pit lounge.

Running a contrasting board around the perimeter hides end‑grain and controls board expansion gaps and creates a high end finish look.

Built‑in bench seats and planter boxes can be built using the same timber as your deck, saving floor area and removing the need for bulky outdoor furniture.

Frameless glass balustrades around your decking or pool to keep the panorama of Rangitoto intact while still meeting NZBC safety regulations. Low‑maintenance, coastal‑resistant fittings included.

Recessed, energy‑efficient LEDs along treads and edges ensure safe walking after dark and bathe your deck in a warm evening glow.
