FAQ
What types of decking materials are best for homes on the Tablelands?
The most popular decking materials for homes on the Tablelands are treated timber and composite boards. Timber offers a classic, natural look and can suit a variety of architectural styles, while composite materials are low-maintenance and resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and termites. The best choice depends on budget, desired aesthetics, and how much maintenance you’re willing to do over time. For those living on the Tablelands' tropical or rural areas, weather durability and resistance to warping or fading are important considerations when selecting materials for long-term value and appearance.
Can a deck be built on a sloping block?
Yes, a deck can be designed for sloping or uneven land. In fact, elevated decks are a common solution for properties on the Tablelands with hills or natural gradients. They allow homeowners to create usable, level outdoor living areas that blend with the landscape. Building on a slope often requires additional support posts and engineering, but it can also enhance airflow and views. Careful planning is key to balancing function, safety, and aesthetics, especially in regions like the Tablelands where natural features are part of the home’s appeal.
How do you maintain a timber deck on the Tablelands?
To keep a timber deck looking its best on the Tablelands, regular maintenance is essential. This includes sweeping away debris, washing the surface every few months, and reapplying protective coatings every 12 to 24 months, depending on sun and rain exposure. In areas with tropical or humid weather, moss and mould can develop, so treatment with anti-fungal or anti-mould products might be needed. Promptly replacing cracked or damaged boards will also help preserve the deck’s structure. Ongoing care improves appearance, safety, and the overall lifespan of your outdoor space.
