Top Decking related questions
In Australia, the cost of a deck installation service can go from $3,600 to $11,500, factoring the size of the deck, materials needed, and complexity of the project.
If you’re specifically requesting composite decking, prepare $100 to $300 per square metre. Meanwhile, garden decking is at $3,400 to $30,000.
This job can take at least a day to five days at the maximum. Generally, the duration depends on the size of the decking and the complexity of your task. If your site is on soft ground, your fitter will have to lay down some concrete pads and allow them to dry, which can take a day or two, depending on ambient temperatures. Weather is also a factor; expect this to take more time during less than fair weather.
It is not advisable to caulk a deck, because the caulk is not stable and won’t stain to match the rest of your deck. Eventually, the caulk will break out and worsen the situation. Instead, it's best to sand around any cracks or voids, turn the boards over, or replace them entirely. When in doubt, consult a deck specialist or find a handyperson near you.
It’s possible to install a deck on your own as long as you have the right tools, materials, and knowledge. Sure, it won’t be perfect, and it may take longer, but if a DIY deck is your goal, your willpower and elbow grease can sustain you. But in case you change your mind after researching about the decking installation process, of course it’s ideal to leave the task to an expert. Just head to Airtasker to find reliable deck installers near you.
No. You might be tempted because of cost-saving purposes, but this could actually push you to spend more money. Laying a new deck over an old one reduces the durability and lifespan of the entire structure. The planks and joists can have tiny differences in measurements that could create spaces to trap water in, causing algae, mould, and wood rot to set in. It can become a potential safety hazard as well.
It depends on your preference and how much you’re willing to pay. Wood decking is less costly and easier to stain and repair, but more challenging to maintain. Meanwhile, composite decking is more expensive, but its durability, ease of maintenance, and appeal of mimicking authentic timber can make up for the cost.
Yes, decking boards should have gaps that are 1⁄8- to 1⁄4-inch wide. These gaps allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Without the proper spacing between boards, your deck may get damaged. You can get more tips on building a deck in this guide. If you'd like to make sure that your deck will have an adequate gap width, consider hiring a top-rated decking specialist near you. Just tap the "Post a task" button to get started on your decking project.
Injecting waterproof resin glue and using clamps can help fix up cracks in your deck. Deck builders may also recommend applying a sealer once a year to protect all the surfaces of your deck better. And while most builders don't advise using caulk to fill in gaps on your decking board, some may be fine with applying coloured caulk. To better weigh the options when it comes to repairing a cracked deck, consult your decking specialist.
Top Composite Decking related questions
Composite decking may be a more cost-efficient option than wood. Initially, composite decking may be more expensive than wood. But composite decks usually require less maintenance, which can save you more money in the long run. In fact, composite decking is less prone to termite damage. Furthermore, composites are encased in plastic and won’t splinter like all-wood decking.
Composite decking can last up to 25 to 30 years. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the lifespan of your composite deck. Longevity may also depend on weather conditions in your geographic location. Under extreme weather, plastics can expand, contract, and crack. But fortunately, composites are resistant to mould, rot, and termites, unlike wooden decks.
Yes, but that depends on your arrangement with your Tasker. You may ask your Tasker to pick up the composite decking boards from your local home improvement store, be it Lowe’s or The Home Depot. Taskers can help source composite decking boards near you. Or you can opt to buy the decking materials yourself and simply hire a Tasker to do the installation.
Look for composite decking fitters with relevant experience in the type of deck you want for your home. Quality decking fitters should have a thorough understanding of the product. What’s more, they should have the suitable skills in fitting the boards correctly. Check ratings and reviews while looking through offers on our platform. You can also check Tasker profiles and view work portfolios. Our platform aims to connect you with experienced composite decking experts near you.
Composite decking installation can take one to three weeks. This timeframe applies to a 12 x 24-foot deck with two people working on the installation. Installation time may vary depending on the experience and skill level of a Tasker. The size of the deck will also determine the labour time. Please put up a task detailing your request. Taskers can soon reach out to you and let you know how long the installation will take.
Top Timber Decking related questions
Timber decking is a construction material used for outdoor decks and patios. This material ranges from hard to softwood species. The type of timber you use will depend on your preferred aesthetic and intended purpose.
Planning regulations apply to some situations. For example, you may need consent before building a deck if your platform is higher than 300 mm (~1 ft) from the ground. Decks that are within 20 metres of highway located in a conservation area will also require planning permission.
What’s more, you may need planning permission if your deck would affect the privacy of neighbouring properties. Please contact your local authority for updated regulations in your specific situation.
The best types of timber for decking include European Oak, Thermowood, Siberian Larch, Iroko, and Balau. In general, timber for decking should have qualities that will give it a service life of at least 15 years. Essentially, timber decking should be durable and rot-resistant. A qualified Tasker can advise you on suitable timber materials, as well as collect the materials from the home improvement store.
Timber decking should have qualities that make it suitable for outdoor use. These qualities include high durability and resistance to sunlight (UV), water, and rot. Timber species vary in appearance, durability level, water resistance, and price per square metre.
Your choice of timber will depend on your budget and purpose. For example, pool decking would require timber with good water damage resistance. Meanwhile, an outdoor area for kids and pets would require durable hardwood.
Timber decking can last for 15 to 30 years. But the lifespan of timber decking will depend on several factors. Using the correct type of timber for your specific application is one way to ensure your decking's longevity. Keep in mind that timber is pressure treated for different uses. Proper installation and regular cleaning are also essential to preserving timber decking.
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance prolong the lifespan of timber decking. Use a mild detergent diluted with water to clean timber decking, as other cleaning agents are too harsh for timber. You should also avoid painting your deck because timber decks don’t respond well to paint. Instead, you can stain your timber deck to revive its natural colours and create water repellency. Furthermore, repairing any damage as soon as it arises can benefit the lifespan of your timber decking.
Top Garden Decking related questions
Garden decking creates cosy outdoor spaces for relaxation, al fresco dining, and summer BBQs. The types of decking range from pure timber to composite decks. Decking provides versatile designs to suit any purpose. What’s more, decking complements plant life and provides a more natural aesthetic than stone paving.
Planning requirements vary from case to case. For example, you’ll need to get planning permission if your deck will be higher than 300 mm (~1 ft) from the ground. Also, planning permission applies to decks within 20 metres of a highway or situated in a conservation area. You may also need permission if your deck will affect the amenity value or privacy of neighbouring properties. For updated planning guidelines, you may contact your local authority.
It depends on the situation. The type of licence depends on the deck's size and height, local council regulations, and state licensing authorities. Simple deck installations may not need a licensed deck builder. On the other hand, you’ll need a licensed deck builder to install a deck that requires planning approval.
Garden deck installation can take as little as 1 to 2 days. This timeframe applies to small gardens (e.g. 15 square metres). But labour time may vary depending on the size of your garden, decking material, and the number of tradesmen building the deck. Taskers can give you a customised estimate once you put up a task for your garden decking needs.
Garden decking is usually cheaper and easier to install than paving. However, paving slabs lasts longer than decking. Paving is not only pricier than decking, but the former takes more time to install. Decking and paving each have their trade-offs, and your choice boils down to budget and style preference. Both decking and paving services are available on our platform. And we can help you find specialists within your budget.
Yes, some Taskers may be able to offer rat-proofing services along with garden deck installation. One way to rat-proof a deck is to install strong chicken wire under the deck. Chicken wire can prevent rats from getting through. Simply include rat-proofing in your garden decking request to avail of this service. We’ll then connect you with tradesmen who can do the job.

What can you get from decking builders?
Booking a decking service through Airtasker means getting connected with contractors, builders, designers, or repair specialists who are ready to work according to your request. From purchasing required materials to making sure you’re satisfied with the final output, Taskers will take care of the intricate process—just clearly communicate with them on your needs.
Here’s an overview of the tasks you can expect when hiring a specialist:
Deck installation
Taskers proficient in the art of decking installation should boost the pleasant energy in your home. The first step is planning the layout by visualising the edges and midpoint of the deck, plus plotting the support posts. By laying weed control fabric and gravel or placing concrete slabs, they start covering the ground. The specialist will place a substructure made of steel, timber, or aluminium. Some installers may add extra moisture protection using materials like butyl tape.
Next come the support posts or caissons. The Tasker cuts the boards and lays them out. Installers usually utilise steel bracket ties for support and an electric planer to keep the boards flush.
After finishing this main frame of the deck, the main boards and decking material are installed. The deck installation specialist maintains 1⁄4” gaps between the boards to allow the wood to expand and contract depending on the weather. Lastly, they bolt the wood planks to the support posts using the anchor brackets. They’ll nail down the perimeter, inspect the entire deck, then let you check. And just like that, your deck is ready for you to furnish, decorate, and enjoy.
Note: If you haven’t secured a permit for the deck construction, you can request your Tasker to do this for you.
Deck staining and sealing
Built a new deck but have yet to get it stained and sealed? Need to give your expansive deck its yearly application of deck sealer? Deck installers near you can do the job.
Specialists can prepare the surfaces, apply the stain, and offer tips on maintaining its condition. If it’s a sealing job, it will consist of cleaning, power-washing, and sanding, followed by one to two coats of sealant.
Tip: If you want to have home repainting done while you’re at it, you can hire a house painter on Airtasker.
Deck repair
Spotted cracks, splinters, or a greyish hue on your deck? Your hired expert can address those concerns. They can also check for rotting wood, inspect the ledger (the part attached to your house), as well as the joists, beams, and railings, to make sure everything is in top condition.
Repairing can also mean as simple as securing loose posts, or as complex as preventing a collapsed deck. If unsure, consult your Tasker about your deck’s condition.
If you want to continue elevating your home, you have the option to hire skilled Taskers in gardening, flooring, gate installation, roofing, and more.

Installation of Joists for Future Deck
$50
Augustine Heights QLD 4300, Australia
4th Aug 2025
Installation of Joists for Future Deck We require assistance installing 90x45mm timber joists to support future decking in 3 areas: • Alfresco – 5.5m × 3.5m • Side Yard – 4.7m × 2.4m • Front Porch – 2.4m × 1.3m Total area: approximately 34 sqm. Scope of Work 1. Cut Joists – Use a mitre saw to cut each joist to fit the allocated space, allowing an extra +100mm for precise trimming after decking boards are installed. 2. Position Joists – Place each joist next to the existing L-shape angle brackets (already installed). 3. Install Pedestals – Position plastic adjustable pedestals underneath each joist, 100mm in from each end, then approximately 1m apart along the length. 4. Height Adjustment – Adjust pedestals so the top of each joist sits 19mm below the brick door step, ensuring future 19mm decking boards will be flush with the door steps. 5. Gap Adjustment – Position each joist 49mm from the door step, allowing for a 30mm gap to the house plus a 19mm side board. 6. Leveling – Ensure all joists are level along their full length; adjust pedestals and add plastic shims as necessary. 7. Fix to Brackets – Pre-drill and secure joists to brackets using 14G Hex screws (50mm). 8. Double Joists (First & Last) – The first and last joists in each section should be doubled, with a bracket between them. Join using a 120mm bolt and nut, following the same process: install, adjust, level, pre-drill, and fix. Joist Quantities & Fixing Points • Alfresco: 10 joists @ 5.5m each – fix to 5 brackets • Side Yard: 13 joists @ 2.4m each – fix to 3 brackets • Front Porch: 9 joists @ 1.3m each – fix to 2 brackets Key Requirement: All joists must be level across each area and sit 19mm below the door steps. Decking boards will not be installed at this stage (to be done later by others). I will provide all materials & tools I will be on-site to guide you through the process, but the work will need to be completed entirely by you.


Mark did an outstanding job installing timber joists for my decking project. He was professional, punctual, and incredibly precise with his work. The joists were cut and installed perfectly, creating a solid, level base. He kept the site clean and communicated clearly throughout. I really appreciated his attention to detail and honest approach. Highly recommend Mark for anyone needing reliable, high-quality handyman work!

We have a small Blackbutt timber courtyard deck that needs to be replaced, it’s 3.5m x 3.5m (13sqm) and nailed to a treated pine frame. When first installed we had the area ground levelled compacted, plastic sheets were placed over the ground and a treated pine frame was built before the Bluckbutt timber was nailed on top. The first job was very well finished by a friend. In the last photo you can see there is a small section where a hatch can be lifted to access a sump drain below. We would like both the Bluckbutt timber and the treated pine frame to be replaced. We are replacing exactly as it currently is (Same dimensions, Same timber). We are interested in quotes for installation only.
