Decks in Terrigal
Terrigal sits on the water with a lot of slope and a lot of view, and both change the brief. We engineer footings for the height and build glass balustrades to the NCC so the deck takes in the view rather than blocking it.
No travel surcharge. Terrigal is within 30km of Erina.

Why Terrigal decks are always two builds in one
Terrigal sits on the water with a lot of slope and a lot of view, and both change the brief. We have built decks where the back of the house is at ground level and the front is sitting four metres in the air on a steel post, and the two ends of the same deck need different engineering. The view is the point of the deck, so the balustrade choice matters as much as the board.
The local factors that move a quote
- Elevated decks. A lot of Terrigal blocks fall hard from the street to the water. Once the deck is more than a metre above the ground, the NCC kicks in: at least a metre of balustrade, gaps under 125 mm, nothing climbable. We engineer the footings for the height and the wind load before we cut a board.
- Glass balustrades. A timber rail on a Terrigal deck blocks the view it was built for. We do a lot of frameless glass, fixed to a stainless or marine-grade spigot, with the panel size and the spigot brand named on the quote. Cheap alternatives corrode within a season this close to the salt.
- Direct coastal salt. Frontline Terrigal blocks take salt on every southerly. Treated pine works inland; on the coast it is composite or a marine-suited hardwood (merbau, spotted gum, blackbutt), with the fixings to match.
What we confirm before we start
The taller the deck and the closer it sits to a boundary, the more likely it needs a Complying Development Certificate or a DA. We tell you which path applies before we quote the build, so the approval, the engineering certificate and the inspection fees are line items on your quote rather than a surprise on the invoice.

Every kind of deck, available in Terrigal.
Hardwood, treated pine and composite, ground-level and elevated, balustrades, and decks with a pergola or roof. Each one priced by the m² after a free site measure, with the substructure built to last and the board named on the quote.

Hardwood Decks
Merbau, spotted gum and blackbutt decks, fixed to a substructure built to last, with the board and grade named on the quote.
Get a quote →Treated Pine Decks
The budget-friendly deck done properly: H3 or H4 treated pine on concreted footings and correctly spaced joists, not a frame that sags in two summers.
Get a quote →
Composite Decks
Trex, Modwood and Ekodeck composite boards with the right sub-frame and fixings, low-maintenance and built for the coast, no oiling for life.
Get a quote →Ground-Level & Low Decks
Low and ground-hugging decks over an existing slab or new pads, with airflow and bearer support sorted so the timber lasts down low.
Get a quote →
Elevated Decks & Balustrades
Decks more than a metre up, with footings and posts engineered for the height and a balustrade built to the NCC, timber, metal or glass.
Get a quote →Decks with Pergola or Roof
An outdoor room, not just a deck: the deck plus a pergola, patio or roof over it, set out as one structure so the posts and footings carry both.

Before
After What Terrigal homeowners say.
“Three quotes, and Deckline was the only one that gave us a real per-m² price before they even came out. The number on the day matched it, and the merbau colour and grade were named on the quote. A year on it has weathered to a rich red-brown and the frame has not moved a millimetre.”
