Online quotes for all wood comes in just over $1000. I haven't included bolts and nails. Although this outlet is probably too far away from you(close for me): http://www.thelogfactory.com.au you can put some numbers in and get a rough idea. Re: Alfresco Decking Quote - Size 4350 X 3000 mm 6Nov 17, 2009 6:05 pm sounds about right for a deck with treated pine decking Re: Alfresco Decking Quote - Size 4350 X 3000 mm 8Nov 19, 2009 11:51 am In a word no. I would leave it open soil, then once the house has been completed, you can put in concrete posts for the decking structure. To get your post height, find your final height, which may be the floor level of your house. For each post location you will need to calculate the following Decking thickness Joist thickness, Bearer thickness. Once you know this, you can calculate how long each of the concrete posts will need to be, ensuring you go in at least 500mm into the ground. Adrian B Re: Alfresco Decking Quote - Size 4350 X 3000 mm 9Nov 19, 2009 12:39 pm Had my decking done by a local carpenter. Size 5m x 3.6m - Merbau - on concrete base. Price: $2900. Did a pretty good job too. Re: Alfresco Decking Quote - Size 4350 X 3000 mm 10Nov 19, 2009 1:49 pm That looks really good fuzzy! Reasonable price too. We had 3 quotes done for decking and the cheapest came in at $4690 + GST for a merbau deck 7x5.3m. The decking is to be going over a concreted alfresco area and then extened over the concrete by about a metre. Hope this helps.

Our alfresco area is not even concreted yet, thinking to do the decking on this area, should I pour the concrete first? As Adrian said, a waste of money poring concrete if you want a deck. Footings are to be 450x450x450mm with gal. stirrups set in concrete and posts fixed to the stirrups. 300mm post anchor is the norm with approx. 200mm of the stiirup in the concrete 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 10971 hey there! π so, itβs kinda common for standard drawer depths to be around 500mm since most cabinets use this size to fit the usual runners… 3 20908 I was being kind to the builder.
