Types of Decks and Pergolas We Build On The Gold Coast
Hardwood and Composite Decks
When it comes to decking, the two most common questions we get are whether to go hardwood or composite and the honest answer is that both are good options when they're installed properly over a correctly built subframe. We build hardwood decks durable, proven species that handle the Gold Coast climate well and age beautifully with the right care. For clients who want the look of timber without the oiling and maintenance that comes with it, composite options are a practical alternative that perform well in the heat and humidity without warping, splintering, or fading the way lower-grade materials do. Whichever direction you go, the subframe underneath is built to the same standard because that's what the deck is only as good as.
Pergolas
A pergola done properly is a structural addition to your property, not just a frame with some timber nailed to it. We build pergolas and freestanding structures in structural hardwood or steel, built solid for the Gold Coast's wind and weather.
For roofing, we go beyond a basic cover. Insulated panel roofing gives you a fully weatherproof, temperature-controlled outdoor room - solid overhead protection from sun and rain. A fly-over roof is the alternative: a raised second roof that lets hot air escape and keeps the space airy and cool, while still protecting from the weather below.
Whether it's a freestanding entertainer, a fly-over roof over an existing deck, or a pergola attached to the house, we design and build it to suit your site and how you want to use the space with standard council approvals included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better: Timber or Composite?
Timber looks and feels better; composite needs almost no maintenance and won't splinter. We help you pick based on how you'll use the space and how much upkeep you want.
Do I need council approval and certification for a deck?
In most cases, yes. Gold Coast City Council generally requires building approval for raised or enclosed decks, and for pergolas or patios over 20m² (or those attached to your home), while some small, unroofed, ground-level structures under this size may fall under exempt development. Because the Gold Coast's coastal location means stricter wind and cyclone-rated construction standards can apply, and requirements vary depending on your property's zoning, boundary setbacks, and site conditions, it's best to check with council or a licensed building certifier before starting. As a team with a QBCC-licensed builder, we handle the approvals process for you - preparing site plans, engineering details, and all required documentation so your project is fully compliant from the ground up.
