Why Singapore Homeowners Pick Us for Timber Decking

It is a simple timber deck. But no, it is not. In Singapore, many timber decks fail, and this failure is often due to the substructure underneath the deck. The wrong type of joists, lack of gap for drainage, and fixings that hold water are some factors. Within three years, the boards warp, the screws rust, and the panels come loose.

Garden + Balcony Specialists

We focus on the two installations most Singapore homeowners actually want — landed garden decks and condo balcony decks. Different sub-frames, different drainage, different MCST rules. We do both, properly.

Hand-Inspected Timber

Every plank is inspected before it leaves our yard. Cracks, knots, twisted boards and warped lengths get rejected. You get the decking we’d put in our own homes.

Sub-Frame Built to Last

Hardwood or marine-grade aluminium joists. Stainless steel fixings. Proper drainage gap. Permeable membrane below garden installations. The bits that nobody sees are the bits we don’t cut corners on.

5-Year Workmanship Warranty

Five full years on installation quality, sub-frame integrity, plank fixings and finish. If anything we installed fails in that time, we come back at no charge.

In-House Team, No Outsourcing

The team that quotes is the team that installs. Same faces from first visit to handover. Accountable through the whole job and the warranty period.

Transparent PSF Pricing

Real per-square-foot rates by species in the table below. Final quote firm, no scope creep on invoice day, no “supplementary charges” appearing halfway through the job.

Why Most Singapore Decks Fail

The plank you walk on is only half the deck. The other half is the structure underneath — the joists, the spacers, the fixings, the membrane. Get the sub-frame wrong and the prettiest hardwood will fail in three years.

Why Pricing Varies Between Quotes

Beware of lowball quotes that look 30% cheaper than ours. The hidden cuts are usually: cheaper sub-frame timber that rots in 3 years, undersized joists that flex underfoot, mild steel fixings instead of stainless (rust streaks within 12 months), and skipping the membrane on garden installs. We’ve replaced too many “bargain” decks at year 4 to undercut on the parts that matter.

Real Timber vs Composite Decking — Which Should You Pick?

Both are good options. The right choice depends on your priorities.

Factor Real Hardwood Timber Composite WPC
Look and feel Natural grain, warm texture, ages with patina Modern look, uniform colour, slightly synthetic feel
Initial cost $28 to $55 psf fr $25 psf
Maintenance Re-varnish every 12 to 18 months for colour Just rinse occasionally
Lifespan 15 to 50 years depending on species 15 to 20 years
Termite risk Low for Class 1 hardwoods (Chengal, Teak, Ironwood) Termite-proof
Splinter risk Low when properly finished, possible after years of weather None — always splinter-free
Heat absorption Hardwoods stay cooler underfoot in direct sun Composites can get hot in mid-day sun
Slip resistance Natural grain provides grip; varnish can be slick when wet Modern composites pass BCA slip-resistance
Best for Owner-occupied homes, premium installations, garden decks Rentals, families, low-maintenance preference, balconies

Timber Decking FAQs

Do I require any approval to deck my balcony?

All condo MCSTs require renovation approval prior to installation of a balcony decking project.

How long does it take to install my balcony timber decking?

A normal sized condo balcony which is 80 to 150 sqft requires one to two days of installation from sub-frame to finishing varnish. A 200 to 300 sqft garden deck should take two to three days including the site prep. More complex jobs involving multi-level garden installation with curved designs could go up to five to ten days. We will include time estimates in your written quote.

Is my timber decking required to be varnished?

Yes, if you are using hardwood, it is recommended to re-varnish after every twelve to eighteen months. This ensures your hardwood remains in its vibrant colours. Failure to do so means the wood would weather into a silver-grey patina (some homeowners prefer this effect). Composite WPC requires no varnishing, just an occasional rinse down. Annual maintenance and re-varnishing can be included in the cost of your installation package.

How do you handle drainage and ventilation under garden decking?

This is where most decking projects in Singapore fail after three years. The sub-frame for hardwoods or composite WPC must be made of hardwoods/aluminium raised at least 50mm above the ground with a permeable membrane under the sub-frame. Small gaps (3mm to 5mm) between decking planks allows water to pass through. Good air flow keeps the sub-frame dry and free of rot and termite problems. For ground garden decks, ensure proper grading away from your house.

Are my decking timbers susceptible to termites?

Chengal, Balau, Meranti (Ironwood), Burmese Teak are hardwoods known to be naturally termite-resistant. They are very dense in nature, impervious due to natural oils/chemicals present and rated as Class 1. Merbau is termite-resistant as well. Composite WPC has no organic content whatsoever that termites feed on – making it termite-proof. We strongly discourage pine timbers and lower grade meranti timbers – these get easily attacked by termites.

Can you remove old decking and install new?

Yes, we can. Complete demolition, removal and disposal of old decking timbers are conducted through our own channels in the horticulture/bulk waste sector. Next, we inspect and clean out the sub-flooring before proceeding with installation of the new decking. Removing a balcony deck adds another $400 to $800 to the job.

Is my hardwood decking slippy when wet?

For most hardwoods with a roughened surface, there is sufficient grip when wet. We can further add non-slip varnish treatment or use grooved profile timbers for wetter/harsher areas such as pool decks. Composite WPC conforms to the BCA’s new slip resistance guidelines.
