Good idea staggering the screws in the merbau too. I have a question for you regarding the footing that is existing between the house and the brick column at the far corner. I'm quoting a deck for a customer in Whitehorse and was concerned about what I think is a strip footing in the running between the house and the column. They have just had their house completed by a big builder starting with Met ending in ricon (apparently that name is offensive??) in the past few months and were unable to tell me how deep it actually was, if it is a footing at all. Did you have similar footings or was the slab poured before you moved in? If you'd like a bit of advice regarding the best oils to use I highly recommend using products from Quantum. It may seem like overkill but for new decks that the customer wants oiled immediately I use three products, sap strip (to remove the existing natural oils still in the timber), decks prep (to clean the merbau before oiling), then the oil of choice. If you have any questions regarding their products, quantum have some great staff that are a great help. Best of luck mate! Hi - thanks for your feedback Pretty much finished my deck now, just got to get one short piece ripped to 60mm to fill in a small gap, fit 5 decklights once I find a suitably sized holesaw or spade bit, and fit the last trim board.

It has to be pretty deep and strong since the brick pier in the corner holds up the roof over the outdoor room, so I had no concerns about bolting brackets onto it for my deck We went to the Cutek distributor in croydon yesterday to get some samples of stain - what do you think of Cutek as it gets pretty good reviews too. My wife also likes some of the Feast Watson stain colours too.
