We were asked to remove the old treated pine decking boards and replace them with fresh new merbau.
Once we started lifting the boards, we quickly realised the existing joists were too far gone to safely support a new deck — so instead of cutting corners, we replaced them to ensure the safety, strength and long life of the build.
The roof posts covering the deck were also completely rotten and weren’t properly attached to anything 😬 — so we rectified that properly to make sure everything is solid and secure.
✅ Brand new joists installed
✅ Joists protected with joist protection tape
✅ 140x19 merbau decking boards laid
✅ New matching set of stairs built
✅ Roof structure secured and reinforced
The end result? It’s come up looking amazing 👌
The rich merbau finish has completely transformed the space, and the clients are absolutely stoked. They can’t wait to spend time out there with family and friends enjoying their new outdoor area.
Thanks to for jumping in for a day to help get all the decking laid and stairs in place
