Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a deck?
Timeline depends on deck size and complexity. A basic 12x16 deck typically takes 2-4 weekends. Larger projects with multiple levels can take several weeks.
What's the best wood for outdoor decks?
Pressure-treated lumber is affordable and durable. Cedar offers natural beauty but needs more maintenance. Composite materials require less upkeep but cost more upfront.
Do I need permits for a deck?
Yes, most areas require permits for decks above 30cm high. Check your local building codes before starting. Permits ensure your deck meets safety standards.
How often should I seal my deck?
Typically every 2-3 years, depending on wood type and weather exposure. Pressure-treated wood lasts longer between treatments. Cedar needs more frequent sealing.
Can I build a deck myself?
Yes, if you're comfortable with basic carpentry. Start with a smaller project. Our guides break down each step so you can tackle it at your own pace.
