Deck Builders Whangarei

We Kiwis love the outdoors, whether we are out and about or enjoying some peace and quiet back at home. Decks are an essential part of our outdoor lifestyle. They not only provide us with the opportunity to sit and take in the views around us. Decks are also the perfect spot to fire up the BBQ in the summertime, relax after a day of hard work in the spa pool, have the kids ride their bikes around or plant some herbs and veggies right in front of your doorstep.

Being such an integral part of living, many houses nowadays have several decks to ensure sun and shade can be used at different times throughout the entire day. In fact, decks have now become one of the major design features within the home environment. Being locally owned and operated, here at SJ Walker Builders we understand the importance of having a well-designed deck to optimise the use and functionality of your outdoor space. Decks not only add a beautiful aesthetic look to your house, they also make it so much easier to spend quality time outside with friends and family without ever having to leave your property.

Timber remains a classic choice, offering a natural look, while hardwoods like Kwila and treated Pine provide durability. For low-maintenance options, composite decking is popular due to its longevity and weather resistance. Each material has unique benefits, so consider what best suits your lifestyle and budget.

Think about how you’ll use your deck—whether for small gatherings or larger family events. Custom features like built-in seating, railings, and lighting can enhance its functionality. Prioritise safety and durability with weather-resistant finishes and non-slip surfaces for a long-lasting outdoor space.

Building a deck is a great way to enhance your outdoor living space, adding both functionality and value to your home. By carefully selecting the right materials and design features, you can create a deck that suits your lifestyle and withstands the elements. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to upgrade an existing space, thoughtful planning will ensure your deck remains a favourite spot for years to come.
