Choosing the right timber deck
“How much will my timber deck cost me?” you might say.
And the answer is easy;
It is really up to you
You see, there are many factors when building a timber deck. For example:
- What size is the timber deck
- Does the deck require council approval?
- Which decking material (timber or composite)?
- How elevated is the deck?
- Does the deck require a handrail?
- Does my timber deck require stairs?
You still want a price right?
Okay…
So you can expect a timber deck to cost approximately $200-$500 per square meter, depending on the timber deck species and if the framing material is treated pine or steel.
Keep in mind, that if a handrail is required you will need to allow for that.

Decking is expensive. Is there another alternative?
Timber decks aren’t always cheap although they are an architectural product and are a natural, environmentally friendly product.
Building a timber deck isn’t right for everybody so other decking alternatives are patio slabs which can be tiled, coloured or stencil finished.
