Decking in New Zealand ranges from NZ$30 for basic services like deck staining to NZ$5,000 for fully insulated pergola systems. Prices include GST. Building consent required if deck is over 1.5m above ground. Timber treatment requirements apply.
The most common types are treated softwood (affordable, needs maintenance), hardwood (durable, natural look), and composite decking (low maintenance, longer lifespan). Pergola options range from open timber structures to insulated patio roof systems.
Permit requirements vary by location. Prices include GST. Building consent required if deck is over 1.5m above ground. Timber treatment requirements apply. It is always advisable to check with your local council or planning authority before starting any outdoor structure.
Composite decking costs NZ$380–NZ$650 per /m² — more than treated pine upfront. However, it requires almost no maintenance and lasts 25+ years, making it cost-competitive over its lifetime versus timber that needs regular oiling and staining.
