Decking in Australia costs $180–$350/sqm for treated pine, $300–$550/sqm for merbau hardwood, and $280–$550/sqm for composite — all supply and installation including subframe.
How much does a 20 sqm deck cost in Australia?
A 20 sqm deck in Australia costs approximately $5,500–$11,000 depending on timber type, site conditions, and whether steps or balustrades are needed.
Is composite decking worth the extra cost?
Composite decking ($280–$550/sqm in Australia) costs slightly more than merbau but requires virtually no maintenance. Over 10 years, it's often cheaper than hardwood when you factor in oiling costs.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
In most Australia councils, decks under a certain height (usually 500mm–1m) and size don't need a permit. Higher or larger decks typically require a building permit. Always check with your local council before starting.
How long does a timber deck last?
Treated pine decks last 15–20 years with regular maintenance. Hardwood (merbau, spotted gum) lasts 25–40+ years. Composite decking lasts 25–30 years with minimal maintenance.
How long does it take to build a deck in Australia?
A standard deck (15–25 sqm) in Australia takes 3–7 days to build. Larger or more complex decks with pergolas, steps, and balustrades can take 2–3 weeks.
