“It's another 5 star review for Deck it Out. I can't say anything that hasn't been said before. Great ideas, very professional, impeccable finish. The team were polite, so respectful and a pleasure to have on site. They also kept everything tidy throughout the build and a thorough clean up at the end. I highly recommend Marc and his team. Thank you for doing my decking.”

- What timber should I choose for my deck?
- Deck It Out Decks can recommend the best timber for your deck considering your preferences and budget.

There are also many good composites on the market now.
- Is it possible to extend my deck to the boundary fence?
- Extending a deck to the fence is feasible but local council regulations must be followed. The building code is one metre, so special approvals are generally needed and these typically need to be fire rated. Deck It Out Decks can provide guidance on these regulations.

- Handrails may be required for safety, particularly if your deck is elevated. Deck It Out Decks can provide information on handrail regulations and design options.
- Do I need a separate town planning permit for my deck?
