A good deck adds real value to your home—and not just in dollars. It gives you space to unwind, host a few friends, or just sit in the sun with a cuppa. At Deck Builder Canberra, we build practical, good-looking timber decks that suit how you actually live.

We’re locals, so we understand the climate, the soil, and the council rules. Whether you’re in a newer suburb or an older part of town, we’ve built decks that match all kinds of homes and lifestyles.

From your first idea to the final screw, we’ll walk you through everything. We keep things simple and stress-free, and we don’t disappear once the job’s done.

Decking Materials We Use

We work with a variety of decking materials depending on your style, budget, and maintenance preferences:

  • Merbau: Rich in colour, durable, and termite-resistant.
  • Spotted Gum: A beautiful Aussie hardwood with natural variations.
  • Treated Pine: Affordable and versatile—great for budget-friendly builds.
  • Composite decking: Low-maintenance boards that resist fading, splitting, and moisture.
