It's going to be an elevated deck (about 1m high). I live in Western Sydney. Thanks Re: Cost of building a deck 6m2 and what do I need to buy? 2Feb 28, 2016 8:24 pm what do you need to build it, lots of things. You are hoping for someone to tell you a nice sounding price; that is why you described it as a 'small' deck and then gave the measurement. No one can answer your question online to within close to even 500% accuracy, so its pointless asking on this forum for price estimates, just bite the bullet and get some quotes. I know its scary on the phone, but its only truth you will get. If you want to do it yourself, 1m is high enough to be dangerous so consider getting someone with decking experience to at least plan it out for you. Hell, if you want to be cheeky, get someone to quote and ask for and itemized quote and pay them for the quote. Its a small price for a list of parts that you need and a basic design.
