Narangba Timbers provide an action plan for building timber decking in time for spring in Brisbane.
Brisbane, QLD, 24 August 2015 - As winter begins its transition into spring, timber decking season is heating up in Brisbane. Narangba Timbers are preparing for another busy spring as homeowners take advantage of mild spring temperatures to build timber decks for their homes.

Timber decks are becoming popular, both in the Brisbane area and across Australia, especially in capital city areas. As homes and property blocks become smaller, Australians still want space to enjoy their leisure time. For many, a timber deck is just what the doctor ordered.

Timber decking is an efficient, inexpensive way to create more living space in a home. While it isn’t actually inside of the home, timber decking has become popular for use as an alfresco living area, adding living space to the home even though it is technically outside of the building.

One of the more popular uses for timber decking in the Brisbane area is as a place to enjoy BBQ and one’s favourite beverages.

Jack Kyle, owner of Narangba Timbers, a timber decking supplier in the Brisbane area, recently published a guide to getting started on his company blog. According to Mr Kyle:
 
“We always recommend doing one’s due diligence before beginning a project like a timber deck. It is crucial to make sure that you are cooperating with your council and neighbourhood regulations regarding timber decking. In addition, those who are in a bushfire prone area are required to use certain species of timber to prevent ignition during bushfires.”

Mr Kyle made a series of recommendations in his blog post for what he called the “research phase.” He recommends that anyone who is considering a timber deck figure out how large it needs to be and what they want to use it for. It is also important to orient the deck on the north or northeast side of the home if possible, with the north side the preferred destination. This provides the most consistent weather profile with the least extremes in temperature according to season.

Ideally, Mr Kyle feels the timber deck should be built closest to the most used room in the home. For most homeowners and families, this is the family room or the kitchen. However, the north side of the home is always preferable and more important than the proximity to a specific room in the home.

Mr Kyle also mentions what he feels to be some important design factors. According to Mr Kyle:

“We have a design deck and plenty of online plans that make it easy to design and build a timber deck. We recommend checking out your neighbours and any other people who have nice timber decks until you see a design that looks great to you. Chances are, we can help you execute that design with our online resources, our display deck and our expert customer service staff.”

Mr Kyle concludes: “Check out the display deck at our retail site. It will save you a lot of hassle.”
