    Spirit,
    What type of timber are you using for the decking top? I am starting to get quotes for my deck and are now trying to decide on a timber type.
    Thanks

    Ouch, I am currently costing up my deck (90sqm) and my first quote came back at 12k for timber only (support structure and spotted gum decking) but I really like to Merbau look. Will have to call the timber yard and get a quote.

    Thanks

    It just means the deck looks good but get a manlier dog.
    Preferably have the new dog eat the old one.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    I wish my customers would appreciate how hard the work is compared to there office jobs when i quote there deck.....
    Mate screwings a snack you just need the right gear ...way easier than nailing if your arm isn't used to hammering all day...
    You need square drive screws ...a cordless impact driver and a drill with a 50 dollar tungsten carbide counter sink and your on your way.....

    Oh and the spotted gum quote will be dearer than merbau

    if your in sydney and want to buy a whole deck load of timber PM me your list and your best price and i'll see what i can do.... All orders are strictly pay in advance though cause i can't run on credit for every one
