Greenvale, Melbourne
Merbau Entertaining Deck
Overview
A premium Merbau timber deck built with an adjustable pedestal system for drainage and long-term durability. This entertaining area features professional-grade construction techniques including rot-prevention tape on all bearers and joists, a treated pine substructure, and stainless-steel fixings throughout. The deck provides a stunning outdoor entertaining space with natural timber beauty and structural integrity built to last.
Key Design Elements
Adjustable Pedestal System
Decking jacks with treated pine bearers provide drainage, reduce rot risk from trapped moisture, and allow precise leveling on uneven surfaces
Rot-Prevention Tape
Butyl joist tape applied to all bearers and joists prevents water penetration and eliminates premature rot at timber interfaces
Premium Merbau Timber
Wide Merbau deck boards with natural durability, no chemical treatment required, and a rich color that ages to a silver-grey patina
Stainless-Steel Fixings
Marine-grade stainless-steel screws throughout prevent rust staining and provide superior holding power in Australian conditions
Engineered Drainage
Pedestal system creates a raised air gap for complete drainage, prevents water pooling, and protects the underlying structure
Professional Finishing
Natural oil finish enhances grain, provides UV protection, and allows easy maintenance with regular re-oiling
