Backyard eko decking

Welcome to the Workshop community @vipulgoswami. It's fantastic to have you join us, I'd be happy to offer some advice.

Eko decking kits are perfect for someone without previous decking experience. The kits provide everything necessary to complete the project and can be delivered in kit form to your home. They are made in prefabricated sizes so with your custom measurements they might not match up with what you intend to build. The Good Times Eko-deck kits come in specific sizes and to cover your dimensions you would need to buy two kits which will then need to be adjusted to suit.

You will need to consider whether the supports provided are suitable for the application. The supports in the kits are 100mm low-level adjustable feet. If you can provide information on the type of ground and slope the deck will be placed on we can clarify if they will suit.

If you need further information about these kits or have any other questions, please let me know.

4 mtr of flat concrette and 4 mtr of flat soil

Does the kit also have screws and frames as well ??

Hi @vipulgoswami.

The supplied supports would be fine for the concreted area depending on how much height we have to work with to the door sill. For the sand area, you would need to swap them out for versions that you concrete into the ground.

The decks come with base frame kits and the fixings for them.

HI Mich,

Can Bunnings cut the material based on our requirements?

Hi @vipulgoswami.

The Good Times kits come from the manufacturer in the sizes mentioned. If you can allow me until tomorrow I will contact Good Times to ask that question for you.

HI,

I also would like to build a bench at end of the deck, similar to the one in picture.

Hi @vipulgoswami.

It will certainly add a functional element to your decking project.

Would you like some assistance in building the bench at the end of the deck and are there any particular questions you had in regards to the process?

Hi @MitchellMc MitchellMc,

I would love to get assistance.

https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/discussion/comment/139309#Comment_139309

Did you plan on building the frames and constructing the seating yourself @vipulgoswami?

You would need to construct frames to suit the sizing you require for the benches out of H3 treated pine timber. If you can provide a drawing of what you had in mind I can assist in helping to plan the frame which will be required. Once you have constructed all the frames you will need to cut decking timber to size and clad the frames with it.

It is a reasonably straight forward process, although there will be a lot of cutting timber and joining it together in various forms.

HI @MitchellMc

I haven't got a plan, but I know what I want. I want the bench at end of the deck, so it will be 4 mtr by 4 mtr in length with corner attached.

Can I make it with eko deck?

Can you help me plan the frame?

https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/discussion/comment/142750#Comment_142750

I've put together a basic plan of what the frame should look like @vipulgoswami. You'll be constructing it from 90 x 45 treated pine and creating a series of 50cm x 50cm square frames joining them with horizontal beams. The decking is then screwed on top of the frames. This is just the basic principle and the sizing is up to you.

You can certainly use Eko-deck on top of the frame, but you will need framing timber to construct the frame itself.

I hope this assists.

this looks similar to what I want, I am planning to have storage in it as well.

Once i get the precise dimensions, can I ask you or guys in Bunnings to cut the material for me?

https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/discussion/comment/144590#Comment_144590

I'm glad the plan is similar to what you want @vipulgoswami.

If you take measurements of all the pieces you require into a Bunnings store there is a cut to measure service available.

@vipulgoswami,

You'll be using H3 treated pine for the frames and the team in-store can also advise on other materials.

As we mentioned before, Eko-deck kits come in pre-manufactured sizes available to view here. I'll be more than happy tomorrow to call Good Times the manufacturer and ask if they do custom sizes.

I'll let you know what options are available.

Mitchell

https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/discussion/comment/145994#Comment_145994

Perfect.

Thanks

Hi @MitchellMc Did you get a chance to call good times company for site specific cut of ekodeck kit?

Hi @vipulgoswami. Sorry for the delay, I have been awaiting details.

You have two options with their frames – to use their modular frames (1116x1116) and panels or to get custom frames (945x945) and lay long lengths.

Their modules are one size only and are compatible with their decking panels. This makes the whole process super easy. For their DIY frames, they have a Decking planner available for you to design the area.

The DIY frames option does not come with fixings, but the designer will tell you the required amount.

The other option is to use their trade frames which are custom to the exact size you require, however are not compatible with their panels and you need to use long lengths. Here is the Deck planner for the trade frames.

When using their deck planners – all you need to do is click ‘show estimate’ and it will tell you everything that you require. If you then ‘Save to email’, it will send this estimate straight to your email

If you require further information or had questions, please let me know.

Mitchell

HI @MitchellMc

I hope you are doing well, just curious did u get any response from good times decking?

Another question I have is regarding decking kit, the kit says 3.48 x 3.48 m times 9, so that means 9 of pre assembled boards of that size right?

Vipul Goswami
