Im not very good at math. 🙈 Ive done a quick calculation - i think this roughly 45m2 (yes??? No???) Ive had a quick read of other threads to get a rough estimate. And the prices seem wildly different. I dont think id want marbeua, if that helps - ive heard its not great quality. Probably just a treated pine with a dark stain ("black china") to match other wood features. How much should i expect to pay.

We used treated pine with no issues. This deck was at the front of our house so had all foot traffic of visitors entering and exiting the house for 6 years until we sold. We ran joists from the house out to the edge of the concrete (to obtain the right height) which were dynabolted into the concrete, then laid the decking boards across it. Just research all options and workout what is best for you.
