Fencing and decking jobs we can help with
Common outdoor timber projects homeowners post include:
New decks
Timber or composite decks, steps and landings to make the most of your outdoor space.
Deck repairs
Replacing worn, loose or rotten boards, fixing wobbly steps and tidying up an older deck.
Balustrades & handrails
New or replacement balustrades and handrails for decks and outdoor steps.
New fencing
Boundary fences, privacy screens and front fences in a range of styles and materials.
Fence repairs
Replacing palings, posts or rails, and repairing storm or wind damage.
Gates
New gates, sagging or dragging gates, and replacement hinges and latches.
Some outdoor projects, such as higher decks, pool fencing or taller fences, may need building consent or have to meet specific rules. Check with your local council or ask the business you choose to go ahead with. For a shared boundary fence, it's worth talking with your neighbour first, because the Fencing Act 1978 sets out how neighbours share boundary fence costs.

- Add photos of the area, including any slope, existing structures or damage.
- Mention any materials or styles you like, and whether old fencing or decking needs removing.
- Include your suburb and town or city, your timing, and anything about access to the site.
