Planning a new deck but not sure which decking material to choose? 🏡

Timber, hardwood or composite? Each has its pros and cons when it comes to cost, maintenance, durability and how it looks over time — especially in New Zealand conditions.

In our latest blog, we compare some of the most popular decking materials in NZ to help you work out what’s going to suit your home, lifestyle and budget best.

Whether you love the natural warmth of timber or want something as low-maintenance as possible, it’s worth knowing your options before you build.

A deck is more than just an outdoor feature — it’s an extension of your home.

Running a small business is a funny old thing.

One day everything's ticking along beautifully, the sun's shining and the jobs are going to plan.

The next, it's raining sideways, a delivery's late and the phone hasn't stopped ringing. 😂

But there's something pretty special about building something of your own, working alongside good people and seeing the results of everyone's hard work.

We're grateful to everyone who chooses to support a local business like ours. It means more than you probably realise.

🔨 Before & After | Custom Aluminium Gates

Another great little job completed by the Deck & Fence Co team in Papamoa!

We've turned this open walkway between two homes into a secure, practical space with a custom aluminium pedestrian gate and a larger swing gate.

Finished in black to tie in with the existing fencing, these gates look right at home and make a big difference to how the space can be used.

Need a new gate at your place? We're a local Tauranga team, building and installing custom gates, decks and fences across the Bay of Plenty.

A fresh new entrance with a pop of colour! ❤️

We love a good before and after, and this recent project in Pāpāmoa is a great example of how a new fence and gate can completely transform a property's street appeal.

Our team replaced the old, weathered fencing with a modern vertical timber fence, finished off with a custom-made, powder-coated aluminium slat gate in a bold pioneer red.

The perfect combination of natural timber, durability and a little personality!

We've featured this project in our latest blog, including the materials used, the process and some great before-and-after photos.

Thinking about upgrading your fence or gate? We'd love to help!

Our client wanted to replace an ageing timber boundary fence and outdated gate that had seen better days. The existing fence was leaning, weathered and no longer provided the tidy street-facing appearance they were after.

Timber, Colorsteel or aluminium… which fence is right for your home? 🏡

There’s more to choosing a fence than how it looks. Cost, maintenance, durability, privacy and even where you live can all make a difference.

We’ve put together a handy guide comparing some of the most popular fencing options we install across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty:

🌿 Timber – affordable, versatile and great for privacy
🔨 Colorsteel – durable, modern and low maintenance
✨ Aluminium – long-lasting, customisable and ideal for coastal conditions
🌿 + ✨ Aluminium frame + timber cladding – the warmth of timber with a durable aluminium structure

Not sure which option is right for your property? Have a read of our latest blog, where we break down the pros, maintenance and repair considerations of each.

Choosing a new fence is about more than just how it looks. The material you choose will affect how long your fence lasts, how much maintenance it requires, how easy it is to repair, and how well it performs in New Zealand conditions.

Before ➡️ After

What a transformation! This tired, weathered fence in Matua was well overdue for an upgrade, and the new vertical timber picket fence has completely freshened up the frontage of this home.

Clean lines, natural timber and plenty of privacy, while still keeping things simple and in character of the property. 🌿

If your fence is looking a little worse for wear, we can help with everything from removal of the old fence through to a completely new build.

When comparing quotes, make sure you’re comparing apples with apples. 🍎

A cheaper quote might look like the obvious choice — but are the materials the same? The post spacing? Timber treatment? Fixings? Gate hardware? What’s actually included in the installation?

Those details can make a big difference to the quality, longevity and final cost of your project.

We’ve put together this quick guide to help you know what to look for when comparing quotes for decks, fences and gates.

And if you’re unsure about anything in our quote, just ask. We’re always happy to explain exactly what you’re getting and why.

A simple before & after, but what a difference.

This pine deck in Welcome Bay has turned an underused garden area into an extension of the home — adding usable outdoor space without needing a huge footprint.

Sometimes the best improvements are simply about making the space you already have work harder.

This pedestrian gate combines a powder-coated aluminium frame with timber cladding for the best of both worlds — strength and durability, with the warmth of timber.

Made to fit the space and built right here in the Bay of Plenty.

Need a gate that works with your existing fence, deck or entrance? We can custom-build it.

A little bit of custom goes a long way...

This aluminium fence was made right here in our Tauranga workshop, combining clean horizontal slats with off the shelf feature panels, then powder coated for a sharp, durable finish.

We love jobs like this — designed to suit the space, fabricated by our team, and built to last.

If you’ve got an idea for a fence, gate or screen that’s a little different, we can make it happen.
