Brisbane and Gold Coast's incredible climate means outdoor living isn't a luxury — it's a lifestyle. Here are seven ideas to transform your backyard into the best room in your house.
1. The Covered Pergola + Deck Combo
The most popular outdoor living setup we build. A timber deck with an insulated pergola roof creates a true all-weather entertaining space. Add ceiling fans and LED downlights for year-round comfort.
2. Multi-Level Decking
If your yard has a slope (common in Brisbane), a multi-level deck turns a challenging block into usable space. Create zones for dining, lounging and a fire pit — all connected by timber stairs.
3. Pool Deck with Glass Balustrades
A Merbau or Spotted Gum deck around your pool, framed by frameless glass balustrades, is the ultimate Queensland entertainer. We build these to meet all QLD pool safety regulations.
4. Outdoor Kitchen Integration
Built-in BBQ, preparation bench, bar fridge space and storage — all integrated into your deck design. We work with kitchen specialists to create seamless indoor-outdoor cooking spaces.
5. Privacy Screening
Timber or aluminium privacy screens on one or two sides of your deck give you seclusion without blocking breezes. Perfect for closely-spaced suburban homes.
6. Low-Maintenance Composite Deck
For holiday homes, investment properties or time-poor families, a composite deck delivers the timber look with zero oiling or sanding. Modern composites look remarkably natural.
7. Fire Pit Gathering Space
A recessed or raised fire pit area within your decking creates the ultimate gathering spot for cool winter evenings. We install fire-resistant materials and proper clearances for safety.
