Things to Consider Before Building Your Deck for Your New Zealand Home

Building a deck is a wonderful way to extend the pleasure of your home and make great use of your outdoor living space. It also means that you have several things to consider and a lot of decisions to make.

The Main Purpose of Your Deck

Everyone has a different reason for building a deck. Some people like to do a lot of entertaining outdoors, and try to make use of as much of the New Zealand good weather as possible. This creates a need for a fairly large deck where outdoor cooking can take place as well as entertaining, and enjoying these outdoor cooked meals. Others prefer to have a deck as a quiet space where they can relax and enjoy the atmosphere of nature around them. For whatever purpose the owner has, the point is, the deck has to last long. Building a deck using Ekologix Decking means you will have a deck to enjoy for many years to come, as it will retain its look and durability.

A Natural Look

Most people want their deck to be able to compliment the outdoor atmosphere. This means they want to use materials that can go perfectly with nature. This is one of the reasons why the Ekodeck has become a favourite. Although it is not a natural wood, it has the look and feel of it. It is comprised of the very best of materials such as 90% bamboo, and a mix of reclaimed timber, and recycled plastic. Utilising these types of materials creates a great benefit to the environment by not having to cut trees to provide the necessary lumber.

Fewer Repairs

When choosing the materials for your deck, you want to think of the future. The deck is going to be exposed to New Zealand’s climate. You want a material like Ekodeck because it prevents warping, cupping, or splintering. With this particular material, you are going to spend a lot more time enjoying this new addition to your home, rather than having to repair it.

Less Maintenance

Most natural wood decks require maintenance like oiling, and repainting every few years. Choosing a material that doesn’t require this means less time that you will need to spend on looking after your deck.

Choice of Natural Colours

Another important aspect about your deck is colour. Natural wood comes in different hues. With the Ekodeck, you get to choose from any of our colours; Greystone, Mountain Oak, Silver Ash, Red Rock, or Dark Brown. These are all colours that will blend in beautifully with your outdoor landscaping and choice of deck furniture.

Safe and Comfortable

Another wonderful feature of this type of decking is that walking on it barefoot will never be a problem, as there is no risk of splintering. Plus, there is no fear of tripping as a result of warped wood. The material is nontoxic, so it is safe for both humans and the environment.

Longevity

When the standard types of materials are used for New Zealand decks, they rot and decay after several years. The only thing that’s left to do is replace the materials. This will not happen if you go for Ekodeck.

These are the points that you need to consider when building your deck. In addition to these, you want to be able to rely on a material that is easy to install. Building a deck using Ekologix Decking means that all of the concerns that we have mentioned here have been well taken care of.

Living in New Zealand means you have to deal with the fluctuations in weather and this makes the Ekologix Decking and Screening products the best choice for this type of home addition.
