Decking Questions

The cost of timber decking can vary depending on factors such as the type of timber, the quality of materials, the size of the deck, and the complexity of the installation. Typically, timber decking prices range from $300 to $700 per square meter for materials and installation. Hardwood timber decks may be on the higher end of the price spectrum, while pine timber decks tend to be more budget-friendly. Aireno's instant quote feature provides homeowners with accurate, personalised estimates based on their specific project details and preferences, ensuring transparency and enabling effective budget planning from the outset.

Timber decking offers a wide range of options to suit every style and budget. Some popular timber decking options include Merbau, a durable hardwood known for its rich color and natural resistance to pests and decay; spotted gum, another hardwood with a distinctive grain pattern and excellent durability; and pine, a cost-effective option that is easy to work with and can be stained or painted to achieve the desired look. Aireno's network of deck builders can help homeowners explore these options and select the perfect timber decking solution for their outdoor space.

The lifespan of timber decking can vary depending on factors such as the type of timber, the quality of materials, and the level of maintenance. Generally, hardwood timber decks can last anywhere from 25 to 40 years or more with proper care, while pine timber decks may have a shorter lifespan of around 15 to 25 years. Regular maintenance tasks such as cleaning, sealing, and staining can help prolong the life of timber decking by protecting it from moisture, UV damage, and wear and tear. Aireno's deck builders can provide guidance on proper maintenance techniques to ensure the longevity of your timber deck.

Choosing the right deck builder is essential for ensuring a successful timber decking project. When selecting a builder, consider factors such as their experience, expertise, reputation, and portfolio of past projects. Look for builders who specialize in timber decking and have a track record of delivering high-quality results. Aireno's network of deck builders consists of vetted professionals known for their craftsmanship and commitment to customer satisfaction. By connecting with Aireno-approved builders, homeowners can trust that they're partnering with experts who will bring their vision to life with precision and care.

Absolutely. Aireno is committed to providing homeowners with accurate quotes for their timber decking projects. Our platform takes into account detailed information about the project scope, timber species, deck size, materials, and location to generate personalised estimates that reflect the true cost of the installation job. By eliminating guesswork and providing transparent pricing upfront, Aireno empowers customers to make informed decisions and plan their timber decking projects with confidence.
