Re: decking base

Hello @Dazzag

 

Thank you for sharing your question about building a decking base. I'm so sorry, but I can't recommend anyone and unfortunately, it's a service that's not yet available at the store. However, I can suggest placing the job on Airtasker or Freelancer. Just make sure to put in as much detail as you can about the job so that you'll get good quotes. You can also search for local registered builders who might want to do this type of job.

 

Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the area and the size of the decking frame you wish to have built? I'm sure our members would be keen to see where you plan on building your deck. Just in case you change your mind I've placed Bunning's seven-part series on how to build a deck below.

 

Here is a handy guide on how to build a deck:

 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks for the additional details, @Dazzag.

 

If you are interested in using the Good Times modular decking frames to construct the deck yourself, then I'm sure our members will be more than happy to provide guidance. Here's the installation documentation if you'd like to have a read-through of it. 

 

Please let us know if there are any questions we can assist with.

Ok, no worries, @Dazzag. When you mentioned that you were going to use the Bunnings decking bases, I presumed you might have been referencing our modular decking frames.
