Safe, Stylish & Low-Maintenance Pool Decks

Why Choose a Pool Deck?
A pool deck can be a gamechanger for your outdoor areas. It is more than a surface. It’s the space where your family and friends gather. When you build a well-designed deck, you:
- Create a slip-smart, safe area around your pool.
- Elevate the look of your backyard.
- Provide a comfortable, splinter-free space for lounging and entertaining.
- Have a beautiful area built to withstand saltwater, UV exposure, and heavy use.
Whether it’s minor touch-ups or a complete overhaul, we’ll give you an honest appraisal and clear next steps.
Timber vs Composite Pool Decking
Timber Pool Decking
Timber offers a natural warmth that blends seamlessly with outdoor settings. Aussies just love timber decks. They’re practically an institution. Popular hardwood choices include Spotted Gum, Merbau and Blackbutt. Timber pool decks need regular oiling and sealing to protect against water and UV damage, but the result is a classic look that ages beautifully with the right care.
Composite Pool Decking
Composite boards are a popular choice around pools because they’re slip-resistant, splinter-free, and require very little maintenance. They won’t warp, rot or fade in the sun and are available in a wide range of colours, finishes and qualities (from low-budget right through to luxury choices with superior qualities). If you want the look of timber without the upkeep, composite may be the best option.
Why this matters: Deploying a licensed team for tiny jobs is inefficient (for both parties). We focus on safety, durability, and futureproofing. When repair isn’t the best option, we’ll recommend a partial or full replacement… whatever makes more sense long term.
Our Pool Deck Services From design through to completion, we handle every step:
- Custom design to suit your pool and yard.
- Timber and composite installations.
- Integration with fencing, stairs, and handrails for safety and access.
- Deck restorations and re-boarding for older pool surrounds.
You can also opt into a routine maintenance plan — ideal for rentals, busy homes, or commercial properties.
Approvals & Compliance
Pool decks often require building approval. This is particularly so if they are elevated, roofed, or close to boundaries. We work with Sunshine Coast Council and private certifiers to ensure your project meets all requirements. Our team also designs to QBCC standards for balustrades and handrails where required.
