Why Choose The Wood Joint?

The Structure Matters

We pay close attention to supports, joist and bearer layout, treatment level, moisture, ventilation, drainage and fixing methods.

Materials Chosen for the Job

Treated structural pine and durable hardwood boards such as balau combine sensible cost with outdoor performance.

Built Around Your Property

Each project is measured and designed around the actual house, pool, garden, levels and existing structures.

From an Idea to a Finished Outdoor Space.

  1. Tell us what you are considering. Send photographs, your suburb and approximate dimensions.
  2. We assess the project. Where necessary, Garrick visits the property and discusses materials and practical considerations.
  3. You receive a clear quotation. It is based on the agreed scope of work.
  4. We build it. The team pays attention to the finished appearance and the structure underneath it.

“John and I are thrilled to bits with the deck… Thanks to you and your team!”
