A deck can change how the whole backyard gets used.
Create More Room Outside
A deck can give you a more practical outdoor area for entertaining, dining or everyday use around the home. WJG Built builds decks in Byron Bay for homeowners wanting better connection between indoor living spaces, outdoor areas and the surrounding yard.
We work with timber and composite decking and help you plan the size, height, stairs and overall layout before construction begins. Whether the deck sits around a pool, extends from the main living area or creates a separate outdoor space, the structure should feel comfortable to use and suit the way the property is laid out.
If you’re planning a deck in Byron Bay, call WJG Built on 0402 173 869.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best decking material for coastal homes?
Timber and composite decking can both suit coastal homes, but exposure to sun, moisture and salt air may affect maintenance and long-term appearance differently. Timber decking may need more regular oiling or sealing, while composite decking can reduce ongoing upkeep. The best option depends on the finish wanted, maintenance expectations and the level of exposure around the property.
Can you build a deck around existing trees or landscaping?
Decks can sometimes be designed around established trees, gardens or existing landscaping depending on the root system, height changes and available access. The layout may need adjustments to protect surrounding areas and maintain enough clearance around the structure. Existing landscaping can also influence stair placement, drainage and overall deck shape.
Does a raised deck need handrails?
Raised decks may need handrails depending on the height of the structure and local building requirements. Handrails can also improve safety around stairs, edges and outdoor entertaining areas, especially where there are level changes or regular foot traffic. The exact requirements depend on the deck height, layout and surrounding access points.
Think Beyond The Deck Size
The size of the deck matters, but the layout and access often have a bigger impact once people start using the space regularly. We help Byron Bay homeowners work through details such as:
- How much room is needed for outdoor dining or entertaining
- Whether timber or composite decking better suits the property
- Where stairs or handrails may improve access around the yard
- How the deck will connect with pools, gardens or outdoor paths
- Which layouts will feel more comfortable once furniture is added
If you’re planning a new outdoor area, we’re happy to help you compare layout and material options before the project moves ahead.
