Deck builders in Tauranga

Decks and outdoor living in Tauranga

Tauranga's climate is made for outdoor living, and a well-built deck is the cheapest extra room a house will ever get. Create Built builds decks and outdoor spaces that are structurally sound, properly flashed where they meet the house, and finished to the same standard as the interior, because you will spend as much time out there as in.

Outdoor work we build

• Timber and composite decks, ground-level and elevated, with balustrades where required
• Covered outdoor rooms with fixed roofs, louvres or pergolas
• Deck-to-living transitions that bring the outside in, with new sliding or bifold doors
• Fencing and privacy screens that add style, structure and street appeal
• Retaining walls, steps and landscaping structures
• Outdoor kitchens and fire features built into the deck
• Pool surrounds and decking

Built for the Bay

Salt air at Mount Maunganui and Papamoa, wind exposure on the harbour edge, clay soils in Bethlehem and Pyes Pa. Each of these changes what fixings, footings and timber a deck should use. We build with stainless or hot-dip galvanised fixings where they are needed, footings to suit the ground and hardwood or composite boards chosen for how they weather, so the deck looks good in ten years, not just on handover day.

Fencing and privacy

A well-built fence adds more than security. It adds style, structure and street appeal. We custom-build fencing solutions that complement your home and landscaping: vertical batten screens, horizontal slat fences, solid boundary fences and gates, in timber, aluminium or a mix.

Consents for decks

Low decks are usually exempt from a building consent; decks above a certain height, decks with a roof over them and structures near boundaries generally need one, and there are rules about balustrades and pool fencing that must be met. We will tell you what applies and take care of it.
