Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best decking material for Darwin’s climate?
In Darwin’s tropical heat and humidity, hardwoods like Merbau and composite options like Ecodek are top choices. Merbau is dense and naturally resistant to termites and moisture, making it a strong contender for long-lasting timber decks. Composite decking, on the other hand, requires less maintenance and is more resistant to warping and fading over time. The best material depends on your budget, usage, and desired appearance, but both are great options for withstanding local conditions.
Do I need council approval for a deck in Darwin?
In most cases, yes - if the deck is above a certain height or attached to your home, council approval is likely required. The rules vary depending on the size, height, and location of the structure. An experienced builder like Northco Constructions can advise you on what approvals are needed and help with the process if required, ensuring your deck is safe, legal, and built to code.
Do I need to maintain my deck regularly in Darwin's climate?
Yes — Darwin’s tropical climate can be tough on outdoor materials, so regular maintenance is important. For timber decking like Merbau, this means cleaning off debris, re-oiling the surface every 6–12 months, and checking for signs of moisture damage or movement. Composite decking like Ecodek is lower maintenance but still benefits from periodic cleaning to prevent mould buildup and surface grime. Routine care helps your deck last longer, stay safe, and look great year-round.
