We Work With All Types of Decking Material

Timber Deck Install Fremantle

While decks and pergolas in Perth can be made from a wide range of materials, the most commonly used types include:

  • Hardwoods- These are natural timbers that include spotted gum, teak, mahogany, redwood, and cedar.
  • Softwoods- These types of wood are not as popular because they are not as durable but are less expensive. Softwoods would include pine, spruce, and fir.
  • Plastic- You might be shaking your head at the thought of plastic, but certain types of plastic are extremely hard and durable, holding up to intense heat and UV rays from the sun. Some of your practical options would include polypropylene decking and high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
  • Pressure-treated wood- Pressure-treated wood often gets a bad rap, but it’s not a bad option. This type of wood is infused with chemicals to repel insects and make it stand up to UV rays and water. Of course, it will not last as long as other options listed here, but many people opt for this type of treated wood.
  • Bamboo- This is a popular choice since it is eco-friendly, but it may not last as long as hardwoods.
  • Aluminium- This is a terrific choice for those who don’t want to do any maintenance, but it does have a few drawbacks. It can become quite hot if it is not covered and has a limited range of colours. Still, considering that aluminium is resistant to rust and dry rot- it has a lot going for it.
  • Vinyl- Popular for windows, vinyl is a long-lasting option, but it does have it’s limitations. It becomes hot in direct sunlight and scratches rather easily.
  • Composite- These materials are sometimes indistinguishable from natural timber and include PVC, WPC, and composite decking which is a mix of plastics combined with wood fibers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does a deck cost per m2 (square metre) in Perth?

A: You can expect to pay between $200 and $1,000 per square metre, depending on the type of material used to build the deck. For pine decking, $200 would be an average price. Hardwood decking, such as spotted gum, runs about $350 per square metre.

Q: Which is better- timber or composite decking?

A: This will depend on what is important to you. Many people love timber (especially hardwood) decking because of its natural warmth and the feeling of natural wood.

However, many composite decking materials look so much like natural wood that it’s difficult to tell the difference. Composite costs more than timber but will last far longer, and it has virtually no maintenance, something natural wood cannot claim.

There are pros and cons to both which is why it is vital that you speak with an expert before making your decision. Call Freo Carpentry & Maintenance today and we will be happy to answer all of your questions,.

Q: What is the lifespan of composite decking?

A: Depending on how they are installed and maintained, composite decking can last 30-50 years. Compare that to spotted gum, which, even if well-maintained, has a lifespan of 15-30 years.

Q: What is the cheapest decking option?

A: Pressure-treated wood is generally the cheapest option, and it isn’t a bad choice. Pressure-treated wood has been infused with glue and chemicals that can help protect it from the harsh elements and insects. This type of wood can cut your decking costs by as much as 30 percent. It won’t last as long as hardwood, but it’s a more affordable option up front.
