Timber

Timber Decking

Natural timber decking brings warmth and a classic coastal feel to Gold Coast outdoor spaces. We work with treated hardwood and softwood species suited to Queensland’s climate — timbers that handle the humidity, UV exposure, and seasonal conditions the Gold Coast demands. We design each deck to the specific configuration of your outdoor space, accounting for orientation, sight lines, traffic flow, and the connection to the interior of your home. Every structure is built to Australian Standards with appropriate footing systems, joist spacing, and fixings for the site conditions and deck height.

What's included:

Design consultation and site assessment
Material selection advice (species, grade, treatment, finish)
QBCC-licensed structural construction including footings, framing, and decking boards
Balustrade and stair construction where required
Oiling, sealing, or finishing to protect against the Gold Coast climate

composite

Composite Decking

Composite decking is the premium choice for Gold Coast homeowners who want the look of timber without the maintenance demands. Made from a blend of wood fibre and recycled plastics, composite boards resist UV exposure, humidity, and moisture far better than natural timber — no annual oiling, no splintering, consistent appearance with minimal upkeep. This makes them particularly well-suited to pool surrounds and high-traffic entertainment areas. We advise on product selection based on your project’s specific performance requirements and aesthetic preferences.

What's included:

Product selection advice (board profile, colour, texture)
QBCC-licensed structural construction including footings, framing, and composite boards
Matching fascia, stair nosing, and balustrade systems
Built to Australian Standards
Suitable for pool surrounds, entertainment decks, and elevated platforms

outdoor

Entertainment Decks & Outdoor Living

The outdoor entertainment deck is one of the most-used and most-valued features of a Gold Coast home — and designing it well means thinking beyond the deck itself. Orientation for shade and view, connection to the indoor living areas, integration with paving and garden, barbecue and dining zone configuration, lighting, and balustrade design all come together in a deck that genuinely works for the way your family lives. Junglescape designs and builds entertainment decks as part of a considered outdoor space, not as a standalone structure bolted to the back of a house.

Pool

Pool Decking & Surrounds

Getting the deck design right around a pool requires careful consideration of slip resistance, drainage, material durability under wet conditions, and integration with fencing and garden elements. Junglescape constructs pool decking — timber or composite — as part of our complete pool surround service, creating a cohesive finished result rather than a collection of separate elements.

Commonly Asked

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does decking cost on the Gold Coast?

Costs vary depending on materials, deck size, footing requirements, and design complexity. Composite typically costs more per square metre in materials than treated timber but delivers lower lifetime maintenance costs. Ground-level platforms are less complex than elevated or multi-level structures. The most accurate figure comes from a free site consultation — we assess the full scope and provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden fees.

Do I need council approval for a deck on the Gold Coast?

Most residential decking under a certain height and area threshold can be built under a self-assessable code without development approval. Decks exceeding threshold dimensions, located within flood or bushfire overlays, or associated with pool safety fencing may require additional compliance steps. As a QBCC-licensed contractor, we assess the requirements for your specific property and handle the documentation as part of your project.

What's the difference between timber and composite decking for a pool surround?

For poolside use, composite has a practical advantage — it doesn’t swell, splinter, or require annual maintenance in wet conditions, and handles ongoing water and UV exposure better over time. Timber surrounds are equally beautiful but demand more consistent upkeep in the pool environment. We discuss both options during the design consultation based on your budget, preferences, and pool area conditions.
