Timber Decking
Natural timber remains a timeless choice for decking. The fact that it can fade when not sealed can be an advantage for some clients, especially those who appreciate the grey wood decking trend resulting from intentional fading.
A timber deck does require more regular upkeep, such as annual oiling and bi-annual sanding or sealing. #1 Decks offers a reliable, annual maintenance program for clients who wish to enjoy a fuss-free natural timber deck.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is highly suited to the Sydney Climate. The brands and products we recommend at #1 Decks will not warp, rot, fade or splinter. They also do not need oiling or sanding. In many cases they are made from recycled materials and can come with extensive manufacturer guarantees.
The extensive range of composite decking options means you can achieve the latest, on-trend looks for your deck, without the need for annual maintenance.

Does my deck need council approval? If so, can you help with this?It depends on the size of your deck and proximity to boundary setbacks. But don’t worry, this is definitely something we can help you with.
-
What is the best composite deck?Composites have come a long way since they were first released. But you still need to be careful in which composite board you choose, as there are a lot in the market and plenty that don’t stand up well in the Aussie conditions. We use and recommend the following boards: Deckroator, Nexgen, Millboard and Apex Decking. All these are good quality and there is a good range in price, look and colour within these products.
-
Should we use aluminium or timber frames?This is something we would need to assess on the job to be completely sure on the best subframe. But as a rule of thumb, if your deck is less than 400mm high, we would recommend either aluminium subframe or H4 lowdeck. Stay away from having H3 timber low to the ground, as they aren’t suited for this application.
-
I want that greyed off decking look. How can I achieve this?This is a really hot trend at the moment and something we specialise in. The way you can achieve the grey timber look is by letting the timber dry out from the weather and silver off. Whilst all timbers will grey off, the selection of the timber is critical for the longevity of your deck. For this, we prefer the following timbers: Thermory, Teak and Mahogany. These timbers are really stable and won’t get splintery once left to dry out (like most Aussie gums will).
-
How long does it take to have a deck installed?This varies depending on the size and complexity of the deck – ranging from a few days for smaller, more straightforward designs, to a few weeks for larger, more detailed designs.

Choosing the right deck materials is crucial for withstanding Sydney's harsh climate. The sun and rain can cause natural timber to fade, while frequent rain can make decks swell and shrink if not chosen carefully. Extreme conditions can lead to movement in decking boards, making it essential to consider areas in partial shade versus full sun, as the latter can deteriorate faster.
At #1Decks, we leverage our experience and your ideas to find the best design for your space and budget. With a wide range of decking timbers and composites available in various sizes, we ensure you get the perfect fit. Let's expand your living area and enhance your home's appeal with a deck designed and built by #1Decks.
