I went through all the posts on this website to build this deck I am so happy with the deck. Adequate materials, equipment and the feeling of the completion is great.
It is a 36sqm deck, 6 x 6m deck with a step towards the garden. Started this project after Boxing Day in 2021 and completed just a night before Australia Day.
Materials used:
- 45x90x6 metre long treated pine from Bunnings to create the base ( total 180mm height + 5 mm packer to create a seamless entry and exit height in alfresco). Added another layer of treated pine wood on top to create 185 mm height in opposite direction at 455 gaps
- 5mm plastic packers so that the base is above the ground
- Dynabolt 40mm on the concrete and 40mm galvanised screw in to the wood to create a ground base same direction as the Merbau wood stacking
- 90 mm Merbau wood for 36 sqm
- Holman home 4 pin lights 45 mm and used the 30 mm as well ( wifi controller is an investment but it is worth it)
I highly recommend buying a good quality table saw for the accuracy In wood cutting edges as well as 45 degree cutting.
self drilling screws.
