Decking
Enhance your outdoor living with beautifully crafted timber or composite decking. MEK Homes builds decks that are stunning, durable, and designed for Melbourne's climate.
MEK Homes designs and builds quality timber and composite decking across Melbourne. Whether you want a spacious entertaining deck, a pool surround, an elevated deck on a sloping block, or a simple backyard platform, our team delivers expert construction using premium materials. Every deck we build features proper substructure engineering, quality fixings, and a finish that looks great and lasts for decades. We work with Merbau, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, and leading composite brands to give you options that suit your style and maintenance preference.
Our Process
We begin with a site visit to assess your outdoor space, discuss your vision, and advise on material options. After preparing a detailed quote, we handle any required building permits through your local council. Construction typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on size and complexity, with our team managing site preparation, footings, subframe, and decking installation. We finish with sanding, oiling (for timber), and a thorough clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else, ring us — we'd rather answer it on the phone than have you guess.
Timber decking (such as Merbau or Spotted Gum) offers a natural look and feel but requires regular oiling. Composite decking is low-maintenance and comes in a range of colours, but has a higher upfront cost. We can help you choose the best option for your needs and budget.
Most decks in Victoria require a building permit. We handle all permit applications and ensure your deck complies with local building regulations and Australian standards.
A well-built and maintained hardwood deck can last 25-40 years. Composite decking typically comes with warranties of 20-25 years. We build all our decks to the highest standards to ensure maximum lifespan.
Yes, we regularly build decking on sloping and uneven sites. We design appropriate substructures and framing to create level, safe outdoor spaces regardless of the terrain.
