Composite Pool Deck & Outdoor Upgrade

Composite Pool Deck & Outdoor Upgrade

Tony and Doha came to us wanting the most cost-effective and best-looking way to wrap their pool. Rather than go down the high-maintenance timber route, we designed a composite deck that would sit neatly around the water and hold up to Melbourne weather for years. The result was a clean, low-maintenance poolside area the family could enjoy straight away, and it grew into a full outdoor refresh across the property.

Project Overview

This build turned a bare poolside into a proper outdoor living space. We went with composite decking in the Antique colour from the Urban X range by Bright Deck, chosen for its looks and low upkeep. To make sure it lasted, we drilled 50 footing holes, each dug well over a metre deep, before building the frame and laying the boards with concealed fixings for a seamless finish. The job ran over a few weeks, on and off, and Tony and Doha were rapt with how it turned out. They were happy enough to have us back to build a matching deck across the front of the home using the same boards, replace their old Colorbond fence, and finish the pool area with a frameless glass pool fence.

Our Process

Consultation & Design

  • Sat down with Tony and Doha to understand the budget and the look they were after.

  • Recommended composite decking in Antique from the Urban X range for durability and low maintenance.

Footings & Groundwork

  • Drilled 50 footing holes, each well over a metre deep, for maximum longevity.

  • Set the footings to give the deck a solid, stable base around the pool.

Frame & Structure

  • Built a level, square subframe on top of the footings.

  • Made sure the base was sound before a single board went down.

Decking Installation

  • Laid the composite boards around the pool, working the water's edge for a tidy fit.

  • Fixed every board with concealed fixings for a clean, seamless finish.

Finishing & Safety

  • Installed a frameless glass pool fence to meet Australian pool safety requirements.

  • Walked Tony and Doha through care and maintenance so the deck stays looking its best.

Beyond the Pool

  • Built a matching front deck using the same Urban X boards.

  • Replaced the tired old Colorbond fence to tie the whole property together.

"The key to a deck that lasts is in the footings. We dug 50 holes well over a metre deep on this one, so the whole thing sits sturdy underfoot and is built to last far longer than a standard job."
