Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Oct 23, 2011 12:18 pm Hi, Looking for the costs (both labour and materials) of decking my outdoor area. The size is 14 metres x 2.4 metres and looking at using Merbau wood with stainless steel screws. It will be risen about 2-3 feet off the ground. I'd love to hear from anyone that has built a deck similar to this recently and knows the costs. I'm in the Sydney area. Thanks very much for any help, Chardie. Re: Decking costs 2Nov 06, 2011 10:07 pm We are in Adelaide & we had a deck built about 4years ago 8 X 5m 30-45cm off the ground and cost us $8000.back then, not cheap but sure does look good. I can not remember the name of the hardwood but it need to be oiled every 12-18mths to keep it looking good. Cheers Gandj Hi, as per the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck? Thanks 0 10970 Use a product like Equisol's Vitalise to clean the deck then coat with a penetrating timber oil. It will look 10 years younger and add value to your home.
