ResortDeck

A deck around a swimming pool can mean a lot of maintenance to prevent fading, mould, and splinters. So, when homeowner Chris Reid began looking for a pool deck for his Mount Maunganui home he quickly zeroed in on Outdure ResortDeck®.

As a builder, Chris had experience with Outdure products on numerous projects and knew the benefits of ResortDeck. Being composite, it has the look of natural timber but none of the maintenance required, such as staining, oiling, or painting. It’s also stain- and fade-resistant – perfect for an entertaining area where spills are guaranteed.

Chris is also a fan of the QuickBuild® aluminium deck framing system. It’s not only fast and easy to install with no visible fastenings, but the marine grade aluminium means it will last for years without rotting or warping.

Outdure also provides a free deck and deck frame design service which automatically calculates the most efficient deck frame layout saving Chris a lot of time on cost estimation. The design even itemises all the materials and components required, which can then be ordered through PlaceMakers.

Because the boards are available in the larger size of 140 x 32mm, fewer joins were required in the build - an important design consideration for this project. Although Kwila is known to leech when first installed, this wasn't too much of an issue. The deck installation was timed to manage the leeching, which was minimal and quickly washed away with the rain.

Because the design side is so accurate there’s less waste, mess, or digging as you would have with a traditional hardwood timber deck.

The family are thrilled with the finished deck, and their backyard has been totally transformed. “This is now our dream home. The kids cannot get enough of this newfound space and refer to it as the resort".
