Re: D.I.Y. deck built from scratch
Welcome to Workshop @Dave21 and thanks for joining in the discussion. We would encourage you to contact your council if you are interested in building your own deck as local laws can differ. What are your plans?
Feel free to post anytime you need a hand or have something to share. We are looking forward to reading all about your projects.

Re: D.I.Y. deck built from scratch
@Dave21 Hi Dave, as Jason explained best to check the regulations in your Council. For us we didn’t need a permit as long as it wasn’t attached to the house for stability. Ours is completely seperate to the house. However if we decide to build a Pergola we are required to apply for one.
Good luck!

Hi @Tara86,
Do you have any "before" photos to show what the back of the house looked like before you built the deck? It would be great for Workshop members to see what you were originally working with.
Many thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason sure thing. Here are some pics of our backyard prior to the decking. Let me know if there is anything else that would be helpful to add.
