We combine over 25 years of hands-on decking experience with high-quality materials and honest advice. As a locally owned and operated Perth business, we focus on helping you get the right products for your project, not just selling timber.

2. Who owns Timber Decking Supply Shed and what experience do you have?

Yes, I provide free expert advice to help you choose the best timber, composite, and hardware for your specific project, budget, and environment.

We insist on premium quality. Most of our timber is delivered to us first so we can inspect it before it reaches you. If it doesn’t meet our standards, we send it back, simple as that.

If you’re not happy with the quality when it arrives, let us know. We’ll organise a replacement, because we stand behind what we supply.

General Decking Supplies FAQs

1. Where can I find the best timber decking supplies in Perth?

I recommend choosing a supplier with real decking experience, not just a warehouse. You want someone who understands Perth conditions and can guide you on the right materials.

2. What is the best timber for decking in Western Australia?

In WA, I usually recommend hardwoods like Merbau, Jarrah, Spotted Gum, or Ironbark. They handle the heat well and offer excellent durability.

3. Should I choose timber or composite decking?

It depends on your needs. Timber gives you a natural look and feel, while composite offers lower maintenance. I help customers select the best option specifically for their needs. 

4. How do I know if timber is good quality before buying?

Look for consistency in colour, minimal defects, and proper grading. A reputable supplier will also inspect timber before selling it, not all do.

5. What hardware do I need for a timber deck?

You’ll typically need structural supports, fixings like screws or bolts, stirrups, and balustrading components. Getting the right hardware is just as important as choosing the right timber.

6. Are all decking screws and fixings the same?

No, and this is a common mistake. You need fixings that meet Australian standards and are suited to outdoor conditions to prevent rust and structural issues.

7. Can I get everything I need for decking from one supplier?

Yes, a good supplier should be able to provide timber, composite, hardware, finishes, and advice, all in one place to make your project easier.

8. What is the advantage of buying from a local Perth supplier?

A local supplier understands WA’s climate, council requirements, and common building practices, which can make a big difference in the success of your project.

9. How important is eco-friendly timber when choosing decking materials?

It’s becoming increasingly important. Sustainable timber options allow you to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing quality or durability.

10. Do I need council approval to build a deck in Perth?

It depends on the size and height of the structure. I always suggest checking with your local council, and a good supplier can point you in the right direction.

11. What maintenance products should I use on my deck?

You’ll need a high-quality sealer or oil designed for WA conditions. Using the right product helps protect against UV damage, moisture, and wear.

12. How do I make my timber deck last longer?

Choose the right timber, use quality fixings, and maintain it regularly with cleaning and sealing. Good materials and advice upfront make all the difference.

13. Is recycled timber a good option for decking?

Yes, recycled hardwoods are extremely durable and environmentally friendly. They also offer unique character that new timber often doesn’t have.

14. Can a supplier help me plan my decking project?

Absolutely. An experienced supplier can guide you on materials, quantities, hardware, and even design considerations to avoid costly mistakes.

15. What should I look for in a timber decking supplier in Perth?

Look for experience, quality control, product range, and willingness to help. The best suppliers don’t just sell products, they help you get the job done right.
