Tailored Outdoor Living, Designed Around You
Decks That Flow with Your Lifestyle
From poolside platforms to multi-level entertaining areas, we create decks that flow beautifully with your lifestyle and home layout. Every design is crafted to make your outdoor space more functional, inviting, and uniquely yours.
Smart Deck Design Starts with a Plan
Great decking starts long before the first board is laid. Whether you’re picturing a sleek entertainer’s deck, a poolside escape, or a relaxed space for family time, it all begins with a thoughtful design that fits your home, lifestyle, and block.
Sunshine Coast Decking works closely with homeowners to create decks that are not only visually stunning but also function beautifully in local conditions.
Deck types we design
No two homes are the same — and your deck shouldn’t be either. We help you explore what’s possible, then bring it to life with a plan that suits your vision and budget.
Popular styles include:
- Entertainer decks with wide open spaces and seating zones
- Poolside decks designed for durability and drainage
- Elevated decks to take in a view or manage a slope
- Garden decks for quiet zones and greenery integration
- Multi-level decks for homes on steep or split-level blocks
How we tailor your deck to your space
Every design starts with a conversation. We visit your property, listen to your ideas, assess the space, and offer practical, creative suggestions. We’ll look at:
- How the deck will be used (entertaining, relaxing, access)
- The best placement for sun and wind exposure
- Ideal traffic flow to and from your home
- Structural options for soil and foundation type
You’ll receive a clear plan and quote.
No jargon. No pushy sales. Just solid advice and real numbers.
Timber vs Composite: Choosing the right material
Part of a great design is choosing the right material for your lifestyle. We’ll walk you through:
- The natural warmth of hardwood or treated pine
- The low-maintenance appeal of composite boards
- What works best for your budget, wear level, and location
Whether you already have a material in mind or need help deciding, we’ll make sure it fits the design and conditions.
Designed for Sunshine Coast conditions
We’ve built decks in coastal homes, hinterland retreats, and leafy suburbs all over the Sunshine Coast. That local insight means we know how to design for high humidity, harsh sun, salt exposure, and uneven terrain. Your deck will be planned with care — from the footing depth to the board spacing.

FAQs
What is the best size for a deck?
It depends on how you’ll use it. A small deck for a couple of chairs might be 2.4m x 2.4m, while an entertainer’s deck may be 6m x 4m or larger. We’ll help you get the proportions right.
Can you help with council approvals?
Yes. If your deck requires approval, we can guide you through the process or work with your certifier or builder.
Do you do 3D design or drawings?
If needed, yes. For simple projects, we may use annotated sketches. For more complex builds, we can supply formal plans.
What if I don’t know what I want yet?
That’s common! We’ll guide you through ideas, show past projects, and help you shape a design that suits your space and goals.
Do you only design, or do you also build?
We’re a full-service team. Once the design is right, we can handle construction and finish work too.
