Decks & pergolas in Tarneit.
Decks and pergolas in Tarneit, built to finish off a new-build backyard properly.

Outdoor timber, built for Tarneit homes
Tarneit is one of Melbourne's fastest-growing suburbs, full of new homes with backyards that are a blank slate. A deck and pergola is usually the first thing that turns a bare new-build yard into somewhere you actually want to spend time.
We build hardwood and merbau decks, pergolas, patios and screens designed to suit new homes and finished to hold up outdoors. Free on-site measure, fixed written quote, and a qualified carpenter on the tools start to finish.

Outdoor timber, done properly.
From a compact rear deck to a full pergola over the alfresco, we build the outdoor structures that make a backyard usable.
Decks
Hardwood and merbau decks on a sound sub-frame, set out for drainage and finished level with your indoor floors so inside and out flow together.
Pergolas & verandahs
Pergolas, verandahs and patio roofs for shade and shelter, sized and pitched to suit the house and built to handle Melbourne's wind and rain.
Screens & privacy
Timber privacy screens, slatted panels and balustrades that block the wrong sightlines and tidy up the edges of a deck or courtyard.
Repairs & restoration
Reboarding, re-levelling and re-oiling tired decks, plus repairs to rot, movement or a sub-frame that has seen better days.
The timber sets the look and the upkeep.
The timber you choose sets how the deck looks and how much upkeep it asks for. Australian hardwoods like spotted gum and blackbutt are dense, hard-wearing and take an oil finish beautifully. Merbau is a popular mid-range option, rich in colour and stable underfoot. Treated pine is the budget choice and works well painted or under a roof.
Near the bay, salt air and sun are hard on outdoor timber, so the finish matters as much as the species. We oil decks to feed the timber and slow the greying, and we will tell you honestly what each option needs year to year so there are no surprises. If you would rather not oil at all, we will talk through low-maintenance and composite alternatives too.

Decks & pergolas in Tarneit.
Do you build decks and pergolas in Tarneit?
Yes. Timbr Built is based in Melbourne's inner west and works across Melbourne's western growth corridor, including Tarneit and the surrounding suburbs. Every job starts with a free on-site measure, then a fixed written quote with no obligation.
How much does a deck cost?
It depends on the size, the timber you choose, the height off the ground and whether a permit is needed. Rather than guess, we give you a fixed written quote after a free on-site measure, so the price you see is the price you pay.
What timber is best for a deck in Melbourne?
For most jobs we recommend an Australian hardwood like spotted gum or blackbutt, or merbau as a mid-range option. All three handle our weather well and take an oil finish. We will walk you through the trade-offs in cost, colour and upkeep before you decide.
Do I need a permit for a deck or pergola in Tarneit?
Sometimes. Low decks and small pergolas often do not, but height, size and boundary setbacks can trigger a building permit, and the City of Wyndham sets the local planning rules. We will let you know where your job sits and sort the paperwork if it is needed.
How long will my deck take to build?
Most residential decks and pergolas are a matter of days to a couple of weeks on site once we start, depending on size and access. You will get a realistic timeline with your quote.
Do you repair or restore old decks?
Yes. We reboard, re-level and re-oil tired decks, and repair rot, movement or a failing sub-frame. If it is worth saving we will tell you, and if it is not, we will tell you that too.
