its 4 mtr flat concrete and 4 mtr or nearly flat soil floor
Hi Guys, I don't have much knowledge about decking and without much handiman knowledge. I wants to build a eko deck in my alfresco and backyard, with the width 4.3 mtr and length 7.5 mtr, my question is is it easy to build deck by buying decking kit from Bunnings?
Hi @vipulgoswami.
It will certainly add a functional element to your decking project.
Would you like some assistance in building the bench at the end of the deck and are there any particular questions you had in regards to the process?
Mitchell
Did you plan on building the frames and constructing the seating yourself @vipulgoswami?
You would need to construct frames to suit the sizing you require for the benches out of H3 treated pine timber. If you can provide a drawing of what you had in mind I can assist in helping to plan the frame which will be required. Once you have constructed all the frames you will need to cut decking timber to size and clad the frames with it.
It is a reasonably straight forward process, although there will be a lot of cutting timber and joining it together in various forms.

I've put together a basic plan of what the frame should look like @vipulgoswami. You'll be constructing it from 90 x 45 treated pine and creating a series of 50cm x 50cm square frames joining them with horizontal beams. The decking is then screwed on top of the frames. This is just the basic principle and the sizing is up to you.
You can certainly use Eko-deck on top of the frame, but you will need framing timber to construct the frame itself.
I hope this assists.
Mitchell
I'm glad the plan is similar to what you want @vipulgoswami.
If you take measurements of all the pieces you require into a Bunnings store there is a cut to measure service available.
Mitchell
You'll be using H3 treated pine for the frames and the team in-store can also advise on other materials.
As we mentioned before, Eko-deck kits come in pre-manufactured sizes available to view here. I'll be more than happy tomorrow to call Good Times the manufacturer and ask if they do custom sizes.
I'll let you know what options are available.
Mitchell
