The challenge. An unsafe, small, and slippery front deck at an awkward height on a steep Titirangi bush section. Sitting in dense shade, the old entry posed a serious slip hazard, restricted access to the front of the home, and lacked functional outdoor space.
Our solution. The team at Pristine Exteriors Ltd completed a total tear-out of the old entry to design and build a custom timber deck and integrated landing pad. Engineered specifically for native Waitākere bush environments, we installed a heavy-duty subframe using H3.2 and H4 treated timber to withstand damp shade and soil moisture. We laid premium 90mm Kwila decking fixed securely, reconfiguring the layout and step heights to create seamless access and maximize the visual footprint.
The result. A rock-solid, safe, and vibrant new front entrance that instantly boosted the home’s street appeal. This custom deck transformation brought warmth, rich timber color, and everyday functionality to this native West Auckland property.
