Decks in The Entrance

The Entrance is holiday stock and waterfront homes at the mouth of the lake. Durable, low-maintenance decks that take the salt and the foot traffic are the norm, so composite and a solid substructure feature.

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.

Reviews

What The Entrance homeowners say.

★★★★★

“Spotted gum deck off the back, the board chosen with us for the look and the coastal exposure. Boards hidden-fixed at the right gap so there are no screws on top and the water drains. The substructure warranty in writing was the thing that won it over the cheaper mob.”

Local questions

Decking in The Entrance, answered.

Do you charge extra to come to The Entrance?

No. The Entrance is within 30km of our Erina base, so there is no travel surcharge. The free site measure and the by-the-m² quote are the same whether you are around the corner or at the edge of the radius.

How soon can you build my deck in The Entrance?

We aim to be on site for a free measure within 48 hours and to have the written by-the-m² quote back to you within one business day of measuring. The build itself depends on the size, the height and any board lead time, and we will give you a realistic install window on the quote. Most residential decks are a one to two week job once we start, with the footings concreted and cured before the frame goes on, and weather can move concrete days.

Will the footings hold the deck up in the ground around The Entrance?

Only if they are dug and concreted properly, which is exactly what we do. We check the ground, the falls and the height on the measure and dig the footings to the right depth for the height and the soil, then concrete the posts plumb, deeper and engineered on a sloping or elevated block. Pads sat on the dirt let a deck sag and bounce within a couple of seasons, so the footings, bearers and posts are the part our 10-year warranty covers.

Can you work with our body corporate or strata in The Entrance?

Yes. We are used to townhouse, duplex and complex decks where a body corporate or a neighbour has to sign off the board, the colour and the cost, and where a balustrade or an elevated deck needs to be built to the NCC. We give you a clear itemised by-the-m² quote you can put in front of the committee, plus a plain note on which council approval path the deck falls under, so the sign-off is the easy part.
