Frequently asked
FAQs
Common questions Melbourne homeowners ask us before starting a deck or pergola project.
- Do I need a permit to replace a deck?
- Yes, a Building Permit is usually required for deck replacements in Melbourne, and Deck It Out Decks will handle the permit process for you. Marc is a registered builder so he is able to obtain permits and insurance to do any works you may require.
- Is a contract provided for the decking project?
- Yes, Deck It Out Decks provides a contract detailing the project's scope, materials, and terms to ensure transparency and protection.
- Does the decking work come with a guarantee or warranty?
- Deck It Out Decks offers a guarantee or warranty for the craftsmanship and materials used in your decking project.
- Can a deck support a verandah or pergola?
- Yes, Deck It Out Decks specialises in integrating verandahs or pergolas with decks to enhance your outdoor area. Most are designed by a draftsman so they are all structurally sound.
- 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 many fantastic species available — Australian hardwood species and Merbau decking which is very common because of its durability in our conditions. 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.
- Will constructing a new deck require a permit?
- A Building Permit is often required for new deck construction in Melbourne, and Deck It Out Decks can assist with the permit application process.
- What is the minimum height for a deck off the ground?
- The minimum height for a deck varies by local regulations. Deck It Out Decks can advise on the specific requirements for your Melbourne property.
- Should I use nails or screws for deck installation?
- Screws are always recommended for a more secure and durable deck installation. Deck It Out Decks can offer expert advice on the best fixings for your deck.
- Are handrails necessary for my deck?
- 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?
- A town planning permit might be needed in addition to a Building Permit, depending on your deck's size and location. Deck It Out Decks can help determine if this is necessary for your project.
- What steps are involved in getting a new deck built?
- The deck building process typically includes consultation, design, obtaining permits, construction, and final inspection. Deck It Out Decks works with a draftsman, surveyors and engineers if required and handles all permit legwork to ensure a smooth project.
