Create A Better Outdoor Area

A deck can give you more usable outdoor space without taking over the yard or changing the character of the home. WJG Built builds decks in Ballina for homeowners wanting a better area for entertaining, outdoor dining, pool access or everyday use around the property.


We work with timber and composite decking and help you think through deck size, height, stairs, handrails and how the structure will connect with the house and surrounding outdoor areas. The right layout can also improve movement between indoor living spaces, the backyard and other parts of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you build a deck around a pool?

    A deck can often be designed around a pool to improve access, seating space and movement between outdoor areas. Poolside decks need to account for drainage, slip resistance, moisture exposure and compliance around pool fencing or barriers. Material choice is also important because some surfaces retain more heat in direct sun than others.

  • Can you put a roof over an existing deck?

    A roof or patio cover can often be added over an existing deck if the structure is suitable for the extra load and support requirements. The deck framing, footings, posts and surrounding access may all need to be reviewed before roofing is added. Homeowners should also consider drainage, shade, lighting and how the covered area will connect with the home.

  • How long does decking last outdoors?

    The lifespan of outdoor decking depends on the material, installation quality, exposure and ongoing maintenance. Hardwood timber decks can last for many years with regular care, while composite decking may reduce maintenance requirements over time. Drainage, ventilation, direct sun and moisture exposure can all affect how long the decking remains in good condition.

  • Whether timber or composite decking better suits the project
  • Where stairs, handrails or edge protection may be required
  • How the deck will connect with lawns, pools or outdoor paths
  • Which layouts will make the outdoor area easier to use year round
