Decks, pergolas, and outdoor spaces

Custom timber and composite decks, pergolas, and outdoor living areas across the Waikato. Built for our weather.

What we offer

Outdoor work we do

Decks, pergolas, concrete pads, screens — we build the whole outdoor space, not just the deck itself.

  • Natural and warm, built from durable hardwoods or cost-effective treated pine to suit your style and budget.

Why choose us

What sets us apart

Decks are the part of a build that gets used every weekend, in all weather. Worth getting right.

  • Built for Waikato weather

    Sun-tracking design, drainage that drains, posts deep in concrete. The kind of details that mean your deck still looks new in five years.

  • Timber and composite expertise

    We work both — and we'll talk you through which makes sense for your exposure, your maintenance appetite, and your budget.

  • Compliant pool surrounds

    If your deck integrates with a pool or spa, we know the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act inside out. Built compliant from day one.

  • Local Waikato knowledge

    Microclimates matter. We know what sun, wind, and rain patterns mean for your site, and we build accordingly.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Quick answers to the questions we get asked most. If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we love a curly one.

  • Most ground-level decks under 1.5m high don't require a building consent. Higher decks, decks attached to a habitable building, and anything with a roof do. We handle consents where needed.
