Timber & Composite Decking for Every Outdoor Area
A well-built deck extends your living space outdoors and adds value to a Perth home. But only if it's built with the right timber or composite product for our climate. Site1 Supplies supplies both timber and composite decking materials. Our team will also install your deck end to-end. From footings through to the final board.
Timber decking offers a natural, classic look that many homeowners love. Composite decking requires much less maintenance. It won't splinter and is more resistant to Perth's harsh UV conditions. We'll help you compare the benefits of each option. So, you can choose the best decking for your budget, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Timber gives you a natural grain and warmth that's hard to replicate. Timber species like Merbau or Jarrah are well suited to outdoor use. But it does need periodic oiling or staining to stay looking its best. Composite decking costs more upfront. But needs almost no ongoing maintenance. It won't splinter and holds its colour well under Perth's strong UV levels. Which makes it a popular choice for busy households and pool surrounds.
Composite boards can get warmer than timber in direct summer sun. Particularly darker colours. Though most modern composite ranges are formulated to manage heat better than earlier versions of the product. Lighter colour composite decks and shaded areas of the deck will always stay cooler.
A well-maintained hardwood deck can last 20 years or more. But it depends on regular oiling or sealing. To protect the timber from UV damage and moisture movement. Decks that are left untreated will grey, crack and deteriorate faster. Particularly on north or west-facing areas that get the most direct sun.
Yes. You need a building permit to build a
deck in Western Australia. Whether it is attached to your home or freestanding. You also need planning approval if your deck does not comply with your local council's planning requirements. Such as boundary setbacks, site coverage, privacy, or height limits. Before starting construction. Check with your local council to confirm which approvals apply to your project.
Re-oiling or staining every 1 to 2 years (more often on north or west-facing decks). Regular sweeping to clear debris. An occasional wash down will keep timber decking looking good and structurally intact. Composite decking needs a fraction of this. Just a periodic clean to remove dirt and mildew.
