About our decking & outdoor structures service
Stud Building builds timber decks and outdoor structures across Melbourne's eastern suburbs, out of Mitcham. From a simple back deck in Blackburn to a full entertaining area with a pergola over it in Doncaster, the aim is an outdoor space that's still solid in fifteen years.
We work with quality hardwoods (Merbau, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt) and treated pine depending on your budget and preference. All timber is selected for durability in Melbourne's climate — hot summers, cold winters, and plenty of moisture.
Our decking installations are fully compliant with Australian building standards and council requirements. We handle everything from site assessment and footings through to final staining and oiling.

Rebuild, re-deck or new?
Boards flexing underfoot are not always a full rebuild. If the frame, bearers and joists are still sound, a re-deck over the existing structure is often enough. If the structure underneath has gone, it needs a rebuild — and the site look is there to tell you which before you spend anything.
Either way you get a fixed price in writing after we look.
Suburbs we service
Based in Mitcham VIC 3132. Decking across the eastern belt and briefly Albert Park, Middle Park & St Kilda — check your suburb. Boundary is the drive, not a shopfront.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a timber deck cost in Melbourne?
It depends on size, height, access and timber choice. Every deck gets a fixed price in writing after a site look.
What timber is best for decking in Melbourne?
Merbau and Spotted Gum are popular hardwoods for Melbourne decks. Treated pine is a budget-friendly option. We'll recommend the best material for your situation and budget.
Do you build pergolas in Melbourne?
Yes — pergolas, gazebos, carports and other outdoor timber structures across Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Often combined with a deck as part of one outdoor area.
