Outdoor Living FAQs

Roger Ramsey & Justine Ramsey

Got questions about building a deck or outdoor space?
We’ve got answers.

From council consent to materials and build time, we get asked all sorts of questions about outdoor living projects. Here are some of the most common ones — answered with practical advice to help you plan confidently and avoid surprises.

Do I need council consent to build a deck or pergola?

That depends on the size and height. In New Zealand, most decks under 1.5m high don’t require building consent — but anything more complex, like covered areas or attached structures, may need approval. We’ll let you know what’s required and can handle the consent process for you.

What decking materials do you recommend?

We build with a range of materials, including treated pine, hardwoods, and composite decking. We’ll help you choose what best suits your style, budget, and how much maintenance you're willing to take on.

Can you build pergolas or roofed outdoor spaces?

Absolutely. Whether you want a simple pergola or a fully covered outdoor area with lights and heating, we can design and build a structure that works with your home and local conditions.

Can you help with tricky sites or sloping sections?

Yes — we’ve built plenty of decks on challenging sites. We’ll work with the lay of the land to design a practical solution, and can incorporate retaining walls, steps, and transitions if needed.

How long does a deck build usually take?

Timeframes vary depending on the size and complexity of your project, but most decks take 1–3 weeks to complete. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote your job and keep you in the loop as we go.

Can you match the new deck to my existing home?

Yes — we always aim to blend new outdoor spaces seamlessly with your home’s existing style and materials. Whether it’s timber cladding, paint colours, or architectural style, we’ll make sure it feels cohesive.
