Heat, shade and bushfire ratings

In Adelaide, summer surface temperatures on dark composite or timber decks can be too hot for bare feet, so shade and board colour matter. Properties in the Adelaide Hills and fringe suburbs may have a bushfire attack level (BAL) that limits the materials allowed, and decks over certain size or height need development approval. Ask the builder to confirm both.

Common questions

Does a pergola need approval in Adelaide?
It can, depending on size, height and distance from boundaries. Ask the builder to check with the council before work starts.
Can an old deck be repaired instead of replaced?
It depends on the condition of the frame and footings, not just the visible boards. Ask for an inspection of the structure before choosing a repair.
Is composite decking maintenance-free?
It still needs cleaning and care. Ask about the product instructions, heat and slip characteristics for your site.
