What decking material suits Perth’s heat?

Lighter-coloured boards and shaded areas stay cooler. Ask the builder to compare hardwood and composite for sun exposure, upkeep and fire rating in your area.

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.
